A four-year-old preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School in North Carolina opted to eat just three chicken nuggets from the school cafeteria after her own lunch was deemed ‘unhealthy’ by a state inspector.
The girl’s mother had packed her a sack lunch containing a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, potato chips, and apple juice. I’m impressed. My preschooler’s lunch usually consists of a tube of yogurt, a string cheese, Pirate’s Booty, and some sort of juice box. Kids are picky, and when she’s at school, my main concern is that she gets some sustenance. We fill in with grains, fruit, and veggies at home, because we’re her parents, and we have authority over our daughter and her diet.

Like stomach rumbling, crazy cravings starving. In fact, I'm starving right now.
Let me just start by saying I like Chipotle. I really, really like them. When it comes to premium Mexican-American fast food, I think they're the tops. And they're really 
Vegetables and kids do NOT go together as well as peas and carrots. At least in my house they don't. While the older one is starting to come around on some green things, the little one refuses unless it comes via muffin or Jamba Juice. So when I heard about this study that showed an increase in vegetable consumption, I decided to try it at home.
If eggs are a staple in your diet (and really, they are impossible to avoid) you need to get on top of this egg recall information. Even though it doesn't seem like these are the eggs you pick up in your grocery store, if you go to school, eat in a cafeteria at your office, or have anyone you love who does -- you could be affected by this

If you eat meat, but still have great concerns about how animals are being treated before they wind up on your plate, this is great news. Hormel, the makers of SPAM, has signed on to eliminate most (most? let's try a little harder here, huh, Hormel?) gestation crates by the year 2017. While I wish it were sooner, and the pigs that are kept immobile in these crates wish it would just be illegal already, this is a terrific step forward for humanely raised meat. I mean, if
