What is the way to get our children to snarf down a healthier diet? Well, maybe spending time with them in the kitchen. But before you splurge on the mini-chef’s hat, pick up an eco, veggie kids’ cookbook to help get them slicing and dicing their way to becoming the next Alice Waters. Just make sure to supervise to help with handling sharp utensils and hot stoves.
Doing these would give you these benefits: You can stir up kids’ eco-interests. Check out books that really speak to kids about how food is grown and the importance of organic agriculture. Another is you can give a one-part hands-on activity. For kids, preparing and devouring their own meal can be fun. And a recipe for saving resources, going veggie even just occasionally helps conserve major resources. A pound of grain uses less than 1% of the water needed to produce a pound of beef. So, think about it!
