Holy crap...look at this kid! I can't believe a kid is so fat! Call me insensitive--I don't care. So I'm watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. I can't believe these stupid people in Huntington, WV really don't think they have a problem. Um, hello....they're the fattest city in AMERICA! Making mashed potatoes at school with 'potato pearls' is pretty gross. I blame the parents. Like it's that hard to peel potatoes!

Now (on the show) the kids are eating a processed patty of chicken skin, bone and all the gross cuts--because it's in the shape of a nugget! Sick and horrible. I just think of the stuff that I eat weekly and how I'm probably not setting a very good example for Shaun. Well here it is, my own personal revolution. Time to walk the walk. Even with school full time and studying fuller (yep I said it) time, I've got to get us into better eating habits. I guess I'm just going to have to get creative with Shaun, since he refuses to eat any type of solid veggie or fruit. I'm hoping it's just a phase he's going through. What kid doesn't want to eat apple slices?!?! Mine.

So let's see what we can come up with. I'm hoping that maybe I can cook a lot on Sunday and then use the "fresh" stuff for us during the week.

I'm determined that my kid will not be the one that doesn't know the difference between a tomato and a potato. :) And he won't be the one spitting his salad out in the 4th grade because he will be used to eating that kind of stuff for awhile.
