Testimonials
I just wanted to send you a note of encouragement and thanks. I have used the information on your site both personally and professionally. The tips and advice you provide are so helpful to many of the parents I work with. I am referring some families to your workshop in March. Thank you for the work you do.

Dina Rose of "Its Not About Nutrition" provides a fresh and unique way of helping parents teach their children to have a healthy relationship with food and develop life long healthful eating habits. I hosted Dina's talk last night for the first time and have been raving all day to friends and family about her philosophy and approach. She teaches -- in an honest, real and no nonsense way -- that kids' eating habits and behaviors have a lot to do with factors other than what we as parents usually think about, and how we can really help them develop good eating from an early age. Her presentation is so effective because she genuinely understands what real life parents experience at the dinner table, and she offers practical solutions and information in a clear way and with warmth and humor. I would highly recommend that every parent and grandparent attend one of her workshops.

Hi Dina! I was at your presentation for babybites a couple of weeks ago. I just wanted to tell you I thought it was fabulous. It was really interesting to hear how you think about these things -- I thought you were incredibly smart in your insights and your presentation. I work in the food world and am raising kids and have thought a ton about healthy eating and healthy habits and etc, but you really gave me lots of new things to think about and I really appreciated it! Fabulous work, really.

Dina, I love your site. It is SO helpful to me, in my *new improved* attitude toward feeding my family. I only found your site a couple weeks ago, and I'm crazy about it. I've always felt like I should be doing a better job presenting my kids with *real* food, but not sure how to go about it, and with getting flack about what I don't want them to eat from family/friends--it's so hard to counter all the marketing and general perception that processed, packaged, sugary food is ok because it's made especially for kids. Now I feel so empowered with your solid information and a PLAN. My husband and I have always enjoyed home cooking and now I'm so inspired to keep it up. I went home the other day and had my girls (1 and 3.5) do a "carrot experiment" -- they helped me prepare steamed carrots and then doctor them up with different toppings and tell me which they liked best (parmesan cheese won hands down). Score one for carrots! We also made peachy yogurt with pureed peaches and plain yogurt, and they loved mixing it themselves! So thank you ever so much.

"Thanks for the summary email. I began changing my son's formula intake last Tuesday and have had great results. He immediately started eating breakfast; and lunch and dinner have been going better as well. So I am very happy! In addition I have stopped putting any pressure on him to eat which has been good for both of us I think. It is still a work in progress but I feel like we have made so much progress. Thank you!"
