    Nutrition is central. It's the foundation of health. Critical to every person, even more so for parents.

    I'm 71, and just started pressure cooking in an Instant Pot. What a difference in my diet. Have finally turned the corner to eat whole foods, plant-based. My initial thought....what a great tool for every family.....quick, nutritious meals with lots of beans, onions, veggies of all kinds.(maybe a smattering of meat). How about a community kitchen with several Pots cooking the neighborhood dinners? Always plenty of leftovers for next day! Unfortunately, the Pots are made in China. Wish I could have bought American. Mrs. Obama.....so glad for Plezi, and what's to come!

      Thank you clarify the name of the juice to the audiences. That's I provide you this recipient. the best vitamin beverage juice for you and your children is home made juice. Buy fresh fruits from the grocery store and make juice in your own rather than manufacturing processing juices. If you are living in USA. Nurse.

    Yes, even in my grocery store, they labeled an area fresh and healthy food, that had tuns of sodium. I learned the hard way where suddenly I was getting headaches from it. Just for the sake of convenience. So I now make more of an effort in feeling good and eating good with real food. God bless Mrs. Obama.

Robots can help. EVERYBODY can have good food, and not even have to decide from day to day what to buy or what to cook, unless they want to. Very cafeteria.
