Why It's Green
The L.E.A.N. Program was developed by Dr. Sears, known as "America's
Pediatrician," and Sean Foy, M.A., a leading exercise physiologist and nutrition expert.
While most nutrition education programs target children, the L.E.A.N. Start Program is one of the first to be uniquely designed for parents and caregivers.
"To make a significant change in the health of our children, we must emphasize the role parents play in modeling healthy behavior, and educate parents on the benefits and principles of nutrition because they are responsible for grocery shopping, preparing meals, and shaping children's tastes," said Dr. Sears, who also is author of The Healthiest Kid in the Neighborhood. "There are a number of programs out there but they fail to impact the behavior of the parents. We've determined that in order to achieve real success, the education of parents is critical."
The L.E.A.N. Start Program was first launched in Orange County, Calif. in 2007 and has trained more than 1,000 instructors. Dr. Sears created it after several years of trials and development in response to growing concerns over childhood obesity, nutrition deficit
disorder and reported ineffectiveness of government-funded, child directed programs. "Obesity isn't the only problem our kids are facing, so we've designed a program that tackles a number of nutrition-related illnesses and issues," said Foy. "The parents we see in our programs are motivated by wanting their children to be healthy, and ultimately we are seeing significant improvement in both the parents and children. Parents who completed the course had an average confidence level of 4.43 out of 5 for continuing the
healthy behaviors."
After evaluating pre and post-assessment clinical data dating from the program's launch to July 2008, results showed that after completing the program, the number of participants who usually or always read nutritional labels before buying food increased 52 percent, while participants who considered nutrition when deciding which types of food to serve young children rose 19 percent to 77 percent. Additionally, the percentage of children of participating parents who ate three or more servings of fruits and
vegetables increased 19 percent and 23 percent respectively.
Parents and caregivers who participated in the workshop also reported a substantial decrease in television and computer usage among young children and an increase in physical activity. Television and computer usage decreased by 28 and 37 percent respectively. The results are based on responses from 600 participants. Clinical data is still being collected, and research is ongoing.

Conventionally grown cotton uses more pesticides than any other crop. Believe it or not more than 10% of the world's insecticides and 25% of pesticides are used in cotton production. Cotton producers also use some of the most dangerous chemicals on the market including those derived from toxic nerve agents developed during the second world war. These pesticides are harmful to farm workers, neighboring communities and schools, beneficial insects, domestic and wild animals and soil micro organisms. Water runoff contaminates lakes and rivers, killing fish and other marine life. Ironically, massive spraying of pestides causes massive outbreaks of secondary insects, leadiing to crop losses and a vicious circle of spraying. The organic label tells you that the cotton was grown according to USDA standards. Only non GMO seeds may be used, soil is kept healthy through crop rotation and supplementation with organic matter and beneficial insects. Organic cotton is processed into cloth that may either be left in its natural beige state or whitened with safe peroxide instead of harmful chlorine bleach. Natural soybean softening is used as well as vegetable based, heavy metal free dyes. The initial cost of organic cotton baby clothes may be slightly higher but the long term advantages are priceless. Babies are born with sensitive skin and many babies react to conventional fabrics with painful, itchy rashes and allergies. Organic cotton baby clothing, organic baby toys and organic cloth diapers are the soft, safe choice. Atlantis Natural carefully sources the highest quality organic cotton baby products. We have worked with most of our suppliers for years and we know and trust their fair trade manufacturing processes. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and 365 day no hassle returns.
