RE: STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE #38 - Winners & New Theme - Everyone Welcome for SBD Prizes!
Congrats to all the winners! Making healthful exciting food for a new generation is an important step in getting humans OFF packaged, overly processed junk. Thank you for sharing this information. Steem the Dream!
Yes, I totally agree @bigskykilroy! We are surrounded by all this fake food that catch the attention of our little ones, and they have no idea it's harmful for them. So we as adults/parents have a duty to not feed them the processed rubbish, but only good wholesome nutritional food. Thanks for stopping by!
Parents want to shield children from the simple fact that things, plants and animals, must die or be harmed for us to live. It may seem cruel, but is part of the symbiotic circle of live and death. Just one man's opinion.
Yes, the circle of life :-) I think as parents we often shield our children too much and they can grow up ignorant, or unable to make mature decisions with regard to looking after their own health. Often children don't even know that bacon comes from a pig, never mind that the pig is washed with chlorine etc before people eat it. In my personal opinion, we should tell children the truth (but in a way appropriate to their age and temperament of course). At least that's my intention as I raise my own son!
Unfortunately, safety laws often arise from a few people doing stupid things triggering legislation. Providing the information and allowing people to form their own opinions is better that legislating for the masses. For children, age appropriate as you say, I believe it is paramount that they are given knowledge of their food stream so they may make educated choices for the remainder of their existence and pass on that knowledge and so on.
Bravo, that you foster education in your own child!
Thank you, I do my best and hope he turns out a well-balanced individual as he grows up. We'll see...! :-)
You are most welcome!
I could not agree more! I love that SCC is bringing this discussion to the forefront! @woman-onthe-wing you're awesome! Eating healthy food does not mean we have to sacrifice taste! =D
My mother cooked every night after a 35 mile commute. Every night from "scratch" and without a microwave. My parents came from farm families and we knew exactly where meat came from and what it took to pay for it. Hard work, that's what it took. Good or bad, habits are learned at home. let's teach good ones. :)
I love it! I wish this was a more popular story! Unfortunately we can't change the past but we can certainly work together to try to influence the future =D
Unfortunately, trips to the pool, "look how many coins I made off you suckers", and general nonsensical posts somehow get the most attention here on Steemit. But, that's a rant for someone else. Steem On!
