Preparing Meals For Teens On Special Diets

Part of a teenager maturing and gaining independence means trying new things. And that can include what they eat.

A C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health at the University of Michigan finds one in six parents say their teen has tried a diet that is vegetarian, gluten-free, vegan or paleo at some point in the past two years.

This can lead to added costs as well as challenges for families.

To avoid problems, researchers recommend parents and teens work together preparing food.
