Unfortunately, when it comes to children, they are unhealthier today than ever in history. They have more asthma, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and neurodevelopmental disorders. One of the biggest culprits is an unhealthy diet!

Devin is a three-time New York Times bestselling author. She spent decades as the chef of the popular TV franchise "The Biggest Loser."
