Is that right? Mott's Medleys are magic

[elleng]

Mott's Medleys' tag line -- "Invisible vegetables. Magical taste." -- is another example of the food industry's trying to convince consumers that they may as well throw up their hands and give up trying to get kids to eat actual fruits and vegetables. I resent that, and I think you should, too.

On the other hand, if you buy into that premise, here's a suggestion: Serve your kid a bowl of Chef Boyardee and a glass of Mott's Medleys juice. He'll get three of the day's 4½ servings of fruits and vegetables without ever having to lay eyes on an actual fruit or vegetable.

8. Most parents don't eat vegetables, so why expect their kids to do so?

If Pops is shoving two double-cheeseburgers down his throat and cramming them home with fat, grease-encrusted fingers then his kids will want to do the same. Your food habits will become your child's habits.
