This is where Let’s Cook Together qualifies as a wonderful tool for both parent and caretaker. Like a primer, it presents the basic elements needed to introduce healthy yet appealing, optimum nutrition for even a very young child - before he or she can be mesmerized by the media and brainwashed by peer groups towards junk food.
The book stems from my passion to envision and ensure healthy, well-built children who are rarely, if ever, sick. While not totally vegetarian or purely hygienic, its recipes and articles are devoted to highly organic (when possible) plant-based nourishment, grains, and some protein. It offers a common sense approach, emphasizing that children both prepare and serve their delightful dishes at the family table. Although some of this info has already been mentioned, it plainly deserves repetition.
I use “primer” to express the book’s intention to encourage its readers to consider other choices … perhaps vegetarian (meatless) and vegan (includes fish) diets, or a totally hygienic (raw foods) program.
To appreciate and become familiar with nature’s bounty, it is vital for children to share in the anticipation and joy of food shopping with an adult as often as possible. With its colorfully illustrated index highlighting veggies and fruit, LCT’s Yummyum segment is a cheerful encouragement for such a venture.
As an aside I was a vegetarian for a long time, consuming a plethora of veggies, fruit (organic), grains, and beans. Then I modified my diet to include some organic eggs, wild fish, and small amounts of organic meat, turkey or chicken. I begin each meal with a raw veggie. Breakfast is a blended, green drink consisting of fresh kale, collard, ginger, aloe vera, and sometimes raw beets or celery, etc. Blending leaves all of the goodness of the vegetable bulk to enjoy.
