The relaxed time of savoring over food and connecting with each other sounds so idyllic--I really want to recreate that in my home. <br /><br />As a culture we value autonomy so much that it sets up to cater to individual food preferences, but at the expense of the shared experience--and often at the expense of nutrition.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15759355666605893492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871722228206618198.post-66906671839888774972012-07-12T03:20:10.932-07:002012-07-12T03:20:10.932-07:00Bethany, fantastic article!

I'm fortunate, I guess, to have accidentally done a lot of these with my kids, so right now they really DO eat a lot of variety in their food. They have also taught me that whenever possible I need to get them involved in selecting and preparing it and making occasions out of meals. OK, we don't do that as much as many families, but in our own way we try. :-)<br /><br />Interesting how Americans and the French have such different attitudes to food overall, which probably contributes a lot to how we introduce food to our children and use it in general.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871722228206618198.post-24983163787283172492012-07-10T12:19:12.361-07:002012-07-10T12:19:12.361-07:00Thank you for recommending the frenchfoodiebaby bl...Thank you for recommending the frenchfoodiebaby blog.
