		<description><![CDATA[Have you noticed that some grocery items are adding to their labels the words “Contains NO High Fructose Corn Syrup”?   Big, bold lettering, splashed right across the front of the package.  Lots of ALL CAPS, too!  The manufacturers are proud of this, and they want you to notice.  Why?

		<description><![CDATA[I believe that a major problem with modern Americans’ eating style is that we are too afraid to make judgment calls about foods.  We’re simply not discerning enough when it comes to the quality of the food we eat, especially what we give our kids.  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mytwoyearoldeatsoctopus.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9547748&amp;post=424&amp;subd=mytwoyearoldeatsoctopus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you’ve read my book My Two-Year-Old Eats Octopus: Raising Children Who Love to Eat Everything (Bull Publishing), you know how detrimental to good health and good eating I think it is that Every Single Kids’ Event seems to revolve around a snack time.  But there’s more.  Now, it seems, we’re being encouraged to bring in store-bought, packaged goods to serve as these “treats,” rather than anything that is homemade, because “we can read the list of ingredients.”<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mytwoyearoldeatsoctopus.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9547748&amp;post=415&amp;subd=mytwoyearoldeatsoctopus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So tonight our family had our first “real” meal in a month – at least that’s how my husband Paul described it.  We had a favorite chicken thigh and red sauce dish, complete with a glass of Pinot Noir and a small chocolate custard for dessert.  We all raved on about it like we hadn’t eaten in weeks.  As noted in a past blog entry, the Pihos took a month off from alcohol, sweets and meats (except seafood), as a test to see if refraining from eating our favorite foods would make us appreciate them more.  Can the sense of taste be heightened and refined?

		<description><![CDATA[You may remember this one from your own childhood:  The Two-Bite Rule --or the One- Bite Rule, or the Tasting Rule, or whatever it was called at your house.  The point is, you had to try at least some small portion of everything on your plate.  But apparently, even the Two-Bite Rule is controversial in some circles, for reasons I don’t fully understand.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mytwoyearoldeatsoctopus.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9547748&amp;post=405&amp;subd=mytwoyearoldeatsoctopus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Think back to when you were a kid, and adults talked about foods that were a “special treat.”  That meant things like ice cream on a hot day, right, or maybe holiday cookies or a cake for someone’s birthday?  A box of Cracker Jacks at a baseball game, dessert a night or two a week, extra candy at a sleepover – that kind of thing.  And now compare that to the meaning of the word “treat” as your own children may interpret it, just by counting the number of times in day or week that they are offered a supposedly “special” food.
