Good Food Fight
November 2, 2007 7:29 pm Feeding the Masses, Learning at HomeOk, gather the kids, all of you put on your aprons and lets get cooking! I want to tell you about a cool game for kids. And maybe for moms if the kids aren’t watching. (Ruthless Ruth kicked my butt with spaghetti, just so you know. Ahem.) The Good Food Fight is just what it sounds like: You have a food fight with healthy, nutritious food that happens to be tasty. The effects are pretty cool and it’s tempting to duck when that food comes sailing at you. And how do I know it’s tasty? All the recipes are on the site! Eat Better America has developed the game to highlight its healthy recipes. You can also find fitness tips and advice for a healthy lifestyle.
I don’t know about you, but I struggle with teaching my children about nutrition. It’s just not something that comes up in ordinary conversation. Perhaps I will use this game to open the discussion.

Sounds like an adventure! Nutrition is a tough lesson. Good food comes across my daugther’s day and she all but weeps sometimes! Yeesh.
The standardized flavors of McDonald’s are palatable. The grease is lovely. Perhaps if I understood why this is I could crack the code in my own kitchen in a nutritious way.
Happy blog your blessings Sunday.

My child would never have learned to eat veggies except he went to daycare. If the kids did not clean their plates, they did not have dessert. My son eats spinach, greens, you name it.
