All,
    This article clearly lays diet and exercise recommendations for 
children, including
Exercise (60 minutes per day)
Stay slim
Eat whole grains, vegetables, fish, and vegetable oils
Avoid things like sugar, white bread, butter, trans fats, and excess salt

This is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American 
Heart Association. It is clearly stated, has 177 carefully chosen 
references, and I think it is right to follow its recommendations.

Love, Scott
