There is growing interest in the effects of chemicals in our food and homes on our children. The issue of malnutrition in well fed children concerns many parents. How do we avoid the poisons and increase our nutritional intake in today’s world? How do we raise children in a more “green” environment?

His answers combine cutting edge science, practical wisdom, warm empathy, and a deep respect f or parents, children, and the environment.
