[quote=Anonymous]I would never do this! Usually as DS and I are out foraging I point out the edible grasses and mushrooms, thus connecting nourishment to nature. Before cooking, if I have time, I try to have a ritual bath as I believe this helps me transmit the sacredness of feeding the body. If he doesn't like the organic edamame and chamomile-suffused home-grown asparagus compote, I take him aside and gently explain how lucky we are to have food. I tell him we should eat while Mother Nature still has the capacity to produce produce. On the rare occasions I prepare meat, DS (4) and I will sometimes spend up to a half hour journaling about it. Without my guidance at all, DS likes to write and thank the chicken for giving its life. At first DS wouldn't touch the alfalfa briquettes but now it's his favorite snack at school. When his little friends offer him Goldfish, he knows to just smile and say 'no thank you' politely. I teach him to be tolerant of others' choices, even when those choices are bad for the body and the planet. [/quote]
