Children are exposed to 4,000 food-related ads every year, nearly
all of them for “kids” products high in sugar, fat, and salt.
Meanwhile, a study in Scotland found that in 30% of households,
kids are getting separate meals from the adults. What if we just
eliminate the idea that kids have their own foods?
At Food Literacy Center, we design recipes that we like to eat,
and then test them out on our kids. Turns out, they like the same
things we do! Tacos with broccoli and potatoes, tostadas with
cabbage slaw and pickled onions, and fresh spring rolls. Set a
healthy boundary that kids don’t get separate meals from the
adults. Try our recipes! Your kids will probably surprise you!
