I don't usually care for informational
websites from the federal government. I
am regularly annoyed that my tax money is spent on many ridiculous projects and
studies, informational websites often being part of those ridiculous things. I saw a blurb about a recent USDA blog entitled
Grandparents Help Kids Develop Good Eating Habits and rolled my eyes in
annoyance.
Still I read the blog, expecting to
feel my blood boiling in my arteries, but actually I agreed with much of what
was said. See the link below. (Being the small government
conservative that I am, this was quite a shock). Grandparents' behavior does have an impact on their grandchildren, and said grandchildren
will model their grandparents' behavior.
The blog offers ideas for
activities and resources to teach healthy eating habits. Good ones, too.
You may or may not agree with me
about this USDA blog's usefulness, but go read it before you decide. One thing I do recommend, though. Don't use bedtime for teaching about good
eating habits as the blog post suggests.
Bedtime reading is for enjoying stories and making memories, not for the
do's and don'ts of eating.
