A bunch of articles on healthy eating

By which they mean "fruits and veggies", of course.

One on how you should eat a variety of colors in your foods. I first heard this a few years ago and took it completely to heart, and this is why we eat carrots in our rice. (Well, that and the fact that carrots are cheap and blend in nicely.) BTW, rainbowgoddess, did you know about purple rice? That can go into your all-purple meal one day.

Here's an article on eating fruits and vegetables for $2 a day. I have never in my life considered dried beans (even once cooked) to be "vegetables" as in "part of the vegetable food group".

I've posted this before, but it's still nifty - homemade flash cards to help kids pick out their own (healthy!) lunches.

And, if you're all about the friendly competition, there are these charts you can buy to help your kids (or yourself) make sure they/you really do eat a full amount of fruits and vegetables every day.

They have their own page talking about the specific point of all this.

And finally, a post about handing knives to children. I can't see the Babycenter thread that criticized her, but that's probably for the best.
