Back before the plague, I used to volunteer in my son’s first-grade class at Leeds Elementary School on Fridays. This was a strenuous proposition a roomful of high-spirited 6- and 7-year-olds bursting with end-of-the-week energy meant that I often went home and had to lie down for a while in a dark room.
The very best Fridays, however, were the ones when the Grow Food Kids program arrived with its cooking lesson cart, complete with kale and apples and knives for all. Then there was no question of trying to make kids sit on the rug or pay attention to the reading lesson on the smart screen; all the kids were automatically riveted by the prospect of making something edible, and learning something applied.
from the fox business network. should we fire ronald mcdonald, is it his fault that my kids eat french fries on i95 towards cape cod? here s the reality. if you slap a cartoon character on any food kids think it tastes better. it could be the same food and kids think it tastes better but he s so creepy, i don t know how he sells any food to anyone. martha: but most people are creeped out by clowns. we shouldn t be marketing junk food to children. we ve had this debate since the carter administration and that s what we re looking at, undermining parents have predatory approach, having an adult marketer trying to establish a direct relationship with children. martha: you know what you do when you go by and your kids say can we go to mcdonald s, you say no and hit the gas if that s your choice. you don t buy it. i agree completely with that. first of first off ronald mcdonald has been the face of the company
