edit data

Amy Pleimling is a registered dietitian, nutrition consultant and mother. She has a wide background in the field of nutrition but it was during her experience as a supermarket dietitian where she found her passion for teaching kids the importance of being healthy. The childhood obesity epidemic is the driving force behind “Don’t Yuck My Yum!” (DYMY). Amy believes that it is small, healthy efforts repeated over and over that make the most impact on healthy lives. Because eating habits are formed at a young age, she feels strongly about educating children on nutrition now, so they can be healthy adults later. Through “Don’t Yuck My Yum!” Amy hopes to teach healthy eating concepts in a fun way that will appeal to both children and adults.

I read my book at an elementary school - all those kids wrote me thank you cards. They had drawn pictures and made comments on what they learned. Reading the cards brought tears to my eyes.... that day was the best feeling (as an author) I have had so far for sure. (less)

“Don’t Yuck My Yum” Is Like An Onion

Since I have written “Don’t Yuck My Yum!”, I have gotten many comments from parents who tell me their kids love to say the phrase. I have also heard kids say it myself (over and over and over). For some reason they grab on to the slogan. My guess is because it is very relevant to them. I think they hear “yucks” often – or they know they are guilty of doing some “yucking” at one time or another
