An American tourist asked a French waiter for a children's menu. He said they didn't have one, and she asked, "What do French children eat?" He said, "Madame, French children eat what they are told to eat." The French have the right idea to avoid giving kids a taste for junk food in the first place.Lori Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612141535162268390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844428295541303197.post-25440615186960961432014-04-21T18:42:45.839-04:002014-04-21T18:42:45.839-04:00I was raised by my maternal grandma, who believed ...I was raised by my maternal grandma, who believed into not giving snacks to children (in the fear of spoiling their precious appetite), we were not allowed to choose our food, had to clean plates and we had to eat everything with a piece of bread. After I turned 10 years old, my parents started to live separately from my mom's parents, I began to cook during week days - it saved me from some of bread consumption, I remember always craving to eat more meat. My appetite was always too good, until I started LC.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844428295541303197.post-16034362130047762222014-04-21T15:14:53.482-04:002014-04-21T15:14:53.482-04:00Hi Lori

They grew a lot of their own vegetables, salads etc Yes, we did eat home made fruit cake and apple pies .... but not every day.<br /><br />I enjoyed my visits and look back with great fondness.<br /><br />Take Care<br /><br />All the best Jan Lowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844428295541303197.post-44080048240312155212014-04-13T18:00:38.941-04:002014-04-13T18:00:38.941-04:00I loved seeing my grandparents, too, but in realit...I loved seeing my grandparents, too, but in reality, Grandma fed me lemon merengue pie, cereal and cookies.

Talk about the choices you are making--choosing the juicier oranges or the fresher vegetables. Help them learn cooking skills, which will benefit them them throughout their lives. Encourage them to be active throughout the day. <br />Spend time walking in the neighborhood, planting a vegetable garden, or shooting a few hoops. Dance, run, or play hopscotch and soccer with them when they're full of energy.."<br /><br />I was so fortunate that my parents and grandparents were so involved in my growing up. It's not always possible these days ...times have changed ...modern day living is different. Families don't always live close by ...but it is so often the simple pleasures that being with family brings that leaves us so many good memories.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.com
