Becoming a More Conscious Food Shopper for your Family

Am I giving my child a well-rounded diet? How much salt and seasonings is okay? What is the deal with marketing for kid's foods and why is it a problem? How can we balance "convenience" foods and healthy foods? These are all common questions I get asked as a Pediatrician and on my Instagram @pedsdoctalk. I welcome Monica Auslander (@eatlikemonica on Instagram). She is a Registered Dietician and founder of Essence Nutrition. We both discuss food-shopping for our families, how to be a more conscious food shopper, and how to remove the guilt surrounding what we feed our kids.
