Comment by April Lorrie on June 2, 2009 at 8:18am: We have been discussing healthy choices for years with our daycare kids however they now have the vocabulary to be involved in the menu planning and of late have really gotten into the nutrition pyramid....today they have requested chicken, corn, peas, potatoes and magic beans (green beans) for lunch. The early introduction of nutrition concepts has turned them into a bunch of fruit & vegie lovers.....their parents and I couldn't be happier!

well done to you. Personally, thats what i think it takes, involvement! The more children are involved with enjoying food the less barriers they will have to it.
