Heath food

The boy is learning about food at school. What is healthy and what is not. This means I'm either constantly being asked how healthy a particular food is, or I'm being told how healthy something I'm eating is.

Randy was wanting more carrots last night after eating a fistfull of them. The logic was that they are very healthy and he can eat an infinate amount of them for that reason.

Healthy food makes you grow. This morning Randy was really wanting some chocolate for breakfast. Even on my scale (which is different than the mom scale), chocolate is not a good breakfast. At least, not on its own. Randy produced some logic for me to consider.

"I'm tired of growing, that's why I keep asking for chocolate."
Randy, age 5
