What about eating issues?
| Fri, 06-10-2005 - 2:24pm |
We have debated sleeping issues to death once again....so what about another one of the issues of childhood....eating and/or not eating?
My kids eat just about anything and have a pretty well rounded diet.

I realized that I had forgotten to tack that on to my post as the other part of the equation. My ds is very active. Just his running around the backyard everyday would take care of any treats he would ingest that day, or any day for that matter.
Balance and moderation are the key. That's why I don't stress over it.
You know, I've been working on cutting down on salt in my cooking, especially for my FIL, who isn't supposed to have it. I find garlic intensifies any salty flavor and reduces the need for salt. Also, using herbs, either fresh or dried, works the same way. Roasting or grilling, too, intensifies flavors, reducing the need for salt.
For the brussels sprouts, try using one quarter tsp. dried basil, or fresh if you have it. Put the basil into the oil mixture before you smash it up. It comes out so flavorful that the salt won't be missed, especially by someone who isn't used to having it. Bon appetit!
Sorry....crocs, wrong spelling.

Actually, I wasn't the one who introduced the term "corrupted" to the discussion - hence the quotation marks in my op.

That may well be true in some cases, and it probably is to a certain extent in the case of my dd. But when you have a child who is so small she's off the growth charts and who has a correspondingly small appetite, you need to be pretty careful about what goes into her mouth. She's not the type to overindulge on anything. She only eats when she's truly hungry. But whereas your son might be able to have a popsicle an hour before dinner with no negative effects, that would likely fill my dd up enough that she would eat very little dinner, and that's not acceptable IMO.
Edited to correct my atrocious spelling.

Yes, I'm sure they killed it quickly. They say that boiling lobsters is much more humane than slaughtering cattle, but I still can't stand for it to happen near me.
Did you ever see the movie Galaxy Quest, speaking of prawns trying to jump out of your bowl? It's one of the funniest movies ever, in case you're looking for something to watch.
