When Children go Crazy, What do you Blame?

[cookie1]

I'm pretty lucky too Thermomixer and so are the rest of the family when it comes to allergies.  I do get hayfever if I pig out on chocolate but I really have to pig out. eg Easter time.  We're not fond of preservatives but really have no nasty problems like so many people. We've just had pizzas with lots of anchovies and some parmesan with the gooey mozzarella.

Thanks TMer.  I just love, love anchovies and parmesan.  I'm one of the lucky ones though, I don't have anyphalactic (spelling? it's not in spellcheck )reactions to anything so far and can eat most things in moderation.

That looks great Nay-Nay.  Thanks for posting it.

I have just put my two crazed children to bed for naps.  Easter bunny came to playgroup and bought little eggs for all the kids.  Even though they were both very hyped from having a couple of little eggs, it was great fun (and only once a year).

Have you guys seen the video clip of Jamie Oliver talking about how important it is to teach your kids good eating habits?  (It's mostly about obesity, but of course relates to all food-related health issues)... I put it on my blog with a post about ideas for teaching kids to cook:  Teach Your Kids to Cook! Why & How...

Yes Jo... I saw it on FB and had to share it.

There is a lot to be said for his passion and drive.... wonder if Jamie O has used a TMX?

Great video Jo, thanks!

I empathise with anyone who has to moniter food colouring additives etc, my family and I are quite fortunate not to have the hassle with food. I still prefer my kids to eat healthy and only ever allow my kids a very small amount of soft drink for special occasions, but get angry when GP (G/parents) decide to give my kids a can of soft drink, which sent my (at the time 7 yr DD) throwing up. My kids very rarely have cordial, they prefer juice, water and milk drinks.The only thing I am really aware of is that I personally have to make sure I don't have much sugar as I  will get not very nice symptoms.
I have not intentional been naive to food, just sounding a bit like a cop out, busy.
I might have to do some experiments within my family, to really see what side effects my DD &DS show.

Thanks everyone for shedding some light
