Childhood Cancer Awareness
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. According to American Childhood Cancer Organization (http://www.acco.org/), “in the U.S. almost 13,000 children under the age of 21 are diagnosed with cancer every year.” Having a child with... cancer is very tough on the family. Feeding children is a hard task even when they are feeling well. Children going through cancer treatment experience similar side effects as adults, but often cannot comprehend the importance of good nutrition. For this reason we’ve created classic child-friendly foods like mac & cheese, pizzas, and even puddings that have important added nutrients from veggies or proteins to help them stay strong through treatment.
