Is it possible that your kids will grow up not knowing what real food looks like? Most kids are fed so much processed food they don't know the taste, smell and feel of the real thing. Would your child be traumatized if you took him/her to a fish market where fish are in full display - head, fins, scales and all? Are they so used to eating processed, prefectly shaped breaded fish sticks that real fish becomes disgusting? Are your kids so happy eating other mystery meats like chicken nuggets, hot dogs and the like, that if you showed them fresh fowl, they would lose their appetite?

Without being preachy, I want to encourage us to pay more attention to what we stock our refriderators and freezers with. How much processed and prepackaged food does your family eat. I know these packaged foods are convenient in our hectic and busy lives, but there is a cost to over indulging in these conveniences.
First there is the issue of the chemicals and preservatives that are used in these convenient foods. There is also the issue of salt and fat that is adding to our national problem with obesity. But most of all our kids especially are missing the opportunity to enjoy and relish real fresh foods.
