I blogged last week about Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution on TV. The show is amazing. If nothing else, I will never, ever eat a chicken nugget or fast food burger again.
Thank you, Jamie, for showing me how they are made. No amount of BBQ sauce can undo the sight of the chicken carcass' whirling in the food processor.
Caeden has been watching it with me and I am trying to explain why he needs to drink Wayne's smoothies and why eating vegetables are important. He's starting to come around.
Yesterday he asked for Green Beans for a snack. We replaced fruit snacks with Clif Bar fruit snacks (found at Costco for a steal) and he loves them.
Does he also love Donuts? They might be his favorite food in the entire world. And I have no delusions that if I and a chicken nugget were both dangling over a cliff, and he was hungry enough, well ... I won't go there. We all know how that would end up.
But. We are all improving! (Now if I could get my bum to the gym. Please, someone, drag me there! And then let me watch you workout while I get a massage!)
She devised it as a way to get her son to try new things - and reward him for it in the process. If you have a picky eater, this is a great idea for keeping the humor in, "please try your broccolini, dear."
