Chicken nuggets, grilled cheese, French fries, and macaroni and cheese.
That’s just one of the many realities in American culture that makes it so hard for kids to eat healthy, according to a new book from Houstonian Bettina Elias Siegel.
Siegel is a former food industry attorney, a food advocate, the author of the blog The Lunch Tray, and the author of the new book Kid Food: The Challenge of Feeding Children in a Highly Processed World.

Siegel will hold a book launch at Brazos Bookstore Sunday, Nov. 3, at 5 p.m.
