    [synopsis] => If you've ever had to grapple with picky eaters who won't touch anything but chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese, Beth Bader and Ali Benjamin have a solution. Their unique ideas will help you present fresh foods that appeal to kids, eliminate food waste, and help you quit worrying about what your children eat. A must-have for every family, The Cleaner Plate Club is an easy recipe for healthier kids and happier parents.

   
	Beth Bader has been a photojournalist, writer, and shark wrangler.  As much activist as cook, she is, most of all, a mom determined to make the world a better place for her child, one meal at a time. She is a food blogger and contributes to the websites EatLocalChallenge and EatDrinkBetter.


	Ali Benjamin is the co-author of The Cleaner Plate Club and the author of the YA novel The Thing About Jellyfish. Benjamin has worked for big companies, grassroots non-profits, and the Peace Corps. Still, one of her greatest achievements so far is seeing her children dive into a bowl of kale. Introduction

 It's no longer about forcing kids to eat every bite on their dinner plates. Today's family-eating movement is all about raising healthy children who love fresh, whole foods. Authors Beth Bader and Ali Benjamin share the good-eating strategies and simple recipes that have made their children happy members of The Cleaner Plate Club.



 - Introduce kids to clean, real foods that don't come from a box in the freezer or a drive-through window.

 - Giant food corporations spend billions marketing their products to your kids. You can fight back.

 - Don't worry about every single snack and meal. You can meet your family's nutritional needs without being perfect.

 - Most important, make delicious meals that your kids will love! "Check out The Cleaner Plate Club by Beth Bader and Ali Benjamin, two moms that strive to feed their families fresh vegetables and whole foods. Before you roll your eyes, these authors do seem to understand that all children are different-and admit that theirs are not aliens that would reject fried chicken strips when given the chance to eat them, so many of their recipes have a bit of a sweet edge to appeal to the younger palate. One hundred kid tested recipes and profiles of 25 different veggies that include nutritional info and tips on selecting and preparing them are included. There is also a seasonal index of recipes that enables you to cook freshest items in your market.  With all of the above this book will have you well on your way to improving the nutritional content of your next delicious meal." A down-to-earth guide for busy parents trying to raise healthy kids.
