THE CRISIS
"54% of God's Kids are Suffering from a Nutrition-Related Chronic Condition"
"This is the unhealthiest generation of kids in America's history."
"28% of kids 12-18 are already pre-diabetic or worse. As a result, on average, they'll live 14 fewer years.
Pediatric Association of America
In addition to a host of child chronic conditions such as asthma, allergies, ear infections, ADHD and autism, kids as young as eight years-old are developing "adult" chronic conditions such as high cholesterol, hypertension, heart disease and "adult" onset type 2 diabetes. Unless drastic measures are taken today, this generation of God's kids will be the first in America's history NOT to live as long as their parents.
Childhood obesity has more than TRIPLED over the last 30 years, increasing your child’s risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, sleep apnea, asthma, cancer and depression.
The CDC (Center for Disease Control) calls childhood obesity a “national epidemic” that affects the lives of more than 9 million children and teens.
The Cause
America's Kids Are Overfed Yet Undernourished
"83% of America's kids are starving for the phytonutrients they need to live healthy." (2015 Phytonutrient Report)
"The average child would have to double their intake of micronutrients just to get the minimum daily requirement." (USDA)
Hidden hunger: America’s growing malnutrition epidemic
Even people in the wealthiest countries aren’t getting enough nutrients, writes Barbara Bush, daughter of former US president George W Bush, and Hugh Welsh, president of DSM North America. Some 85% of Americans lack essential vitamins.
America's kids are suffering from a condition known as "Hidden Hunger," or micronutrient deficiency. This is when a child consumes enough calories to survive, but not enough nutrients to live healthy and do their best in school. Due to a weakened immune system, kids are developing a host of physical and mental chronic illnesses.
Why is the richest country in the world facing the most debilitating food-related crisis in the world? It's easy...
WE'RE ADDICTED TO HARMFUL PROCESSED FOODS.
Researchers at the University of Michigan have made a bold statement: All the pizza or ice cream cravings that keep coming back despite your feelings of guilt and depression might be a sign that you have a food addiction. And that food addiction isn't something to laugh about ; it's a real disease that is just as bad as drug addiction or alcoholism.
They found that highly processed foods were more likely to have the same effect on the brain as hard drugs, compared to non-processed foods like wheat, fish, and other “boring” and “healthy” foods.

The Only Cure:
God's Nourishing Foods and a Loving Parent
"Over the past decade, a wealth of scientific validation has emerged to support the role of diverse phytonutrients as a frontline defense against a host of diet-related chronic conditions, from heart disease to cancer. Phytonutrients are the future of medicine."
Jennifer Toews, MD (USDA)
Modern science has finally identified the specific elements in fruits and vegetables that make them so healthy- God's phytonutrients. The Save God's Kids solution is dedicated to educating families on the power of these brite colorful foods and nutrients.
