Surely we need to educate the parents as much as the children.

The stuffed horse and candy on shelves didn't hold a candle to the broccoli. And, then she noticed the apples, bananas, walnuts, oranges, lettuce, carrots and celery and was nearly beside herself with delight! I like knowing that broccoli is more exciting than chocolate bars and that she knows what broccoli. Just when you can't do anything right with parenting, your child proves you wrong. :) Please check out my blog - I think that you will find our family project very interesting! www.sacredbee.wordpress.com Yesterday my daughter and I stopped at the local farmer’s stand and she squealed with delight upon walking in the front door – she had seen the broccoli!

Food policy has failed us and our kids, unfortunately all of us are paying and people in lower socioeconomic status bear the heaviest burden because education and affordability are hard to come by for that segment. This is a food justice issue and all Moms should be heavily concerned that not everyone has the same access to REAL food, even once our eyes have been opened and want to do the best for our children.
