Thanks for the comment and for the point you have made regarding independence. I believe that all kids both boys and girls need to know what proper nutrition is and how to prepare their own healthy snacks and lunches and I’m glad that you do too.

N.B. I remove commercial links from comments made to my “personal” blog.

It makes them feel more independent as well. They’ll be less likely to get bullied too because they’ll be able to develop a good head on their shoulders. Besides, it can’t hurt to know a thing or two about preparing food! Believe me, it will come very handy in the future!

I’m distressed to hear you are having problems posting comments. I did not receive any duplicates. Hopefully, this was just a passing weirdness and not something that’s “broken”.

I don’t buy the parents of today don’t have time argument. Working moms are no more busy today than they were when they actually grew food, preserved it and ran whole farms. Also, for over 40 years now having children at all has been a choice. Those who make the choice to have kids get absolutely no sympathy from me when choose not to parent them properly.

I know we’re all busy and parents especially so, but if we’re too busy to keep — our make — children healthy, some priorities might need to be examined.

The notion (in my post) that french fries make up 25% of the vegetables most kids eat is so distressing. And all the sugar from those processed cereals and drinks!

I will try your banana smoothie – I often slice really ripe bananas about 1/2″ thick, freeze the slices and eat them right from the freezer. Since they bordered on being mooshy before going into the freezer, they’re much like ice cream when eaten frozen. Frozen grapes are great, too!
