Here is a story about a school cafeteria serving healthy food instead of the usual hamburgers and French fries from which there was no escape in most school cafeterias for many years.
There are quotes from administrators saying that they are seeing a difference in kids’ attitudes towards eating healthy as compared to just a few years ago. I would think that they are now used to the healthy food so that is what they expect.
The same goes for your household too. I hate when I hear parents say that kids “won’t” eat anything healthy. I always ask them who does the grocery shopping and who pays for the food brought into the house. Since it is the parents, they should be providing appropriate food. (The same goes for school cafeterias.) Blaming the kids for refusing to eat healthy food is a complete cop out.
Kids may refuse a healthy meal if you only offer one of those to every twenty-five junk food fests. However, if they had nothing but healthy choices every day, they would eat the healthy food rather than starve. That is basic survival instinct.
Have you seen this story yet?
Schools in England will be required to inform parents of students are obese. Shouldn’t that be obvious to the parents? I hardly think that getting a note or a phone call from a school administrator will suddenly open parents’ eyes to the fact that their children are overweight if they haven’t noticed it on their own.
What do you think?
Note: The original blog entry contained a link to the actual story. I think I have learned a lesson not to link to news stories any more as it seems that large news organaization aren’t leaving their news arhcives online permanently.
If you are planning on attending the upcoming Super Bowl and you don’t have seats close enough to the field, you’ll want to have a good pair of binoculars so you can make sure you get the “eagle eye” view of the action.
EagleOptics.com sells Bushnell binoculars online. Of course, the Bushnell brand itself is over fifty years old and well known to sports enthusiasts (as well as bird watchers and those who appreciate other forms of wildlife).
Reasons to buy Bushnell binocular items from Eagle include online convenience, low prices, and free financing on orders over 200 dollars!
Eagle Optics will help make sure you don’t miss a single play of the big game!
I first introduced readers of Someone Elses Kids AGLOCO on November 30 (via this post: Easy Way To Make Money Online), which was barely a week after the company was launched. Technically, AGLOCO still considers itself in the pre-launch phase because they are currently signing up members, but they haven’t released the viewbar yet.
Although there are appropriate links on the side of the page, I haven’t mentioned it again on this blog since then because I personally don’t like it when I am an avid fan of someone’s blog or website and the author just constantly pounds away at a topic which is not the main focus of the blog.
Now that it has been a couple months, I think it’s reasonable to devote another post to this topic. After all, all the parents who read this blog can always use another source of income. Raising kids isn’t cheap, that’s for sure!
AGLOCO is still a brand new company and there is ample opportunity to sign up online friends and relatives. They will thank you for sending them a way to make money online that costs nothing and requires no extra work than just going about your regular routine on the Internet.
Thousands of people are signing up. Join them!

I just heard about a brand new, fun blog that is perfect for parents and kids to enjoy together.
The name of it is The Ice Cream Journal and it’s written by people from Turkey Hill, which makes some of the tastiest ice cream available. Aren’t you excited to check it out already?
I love the fact that they will be hosting an ice cream Q & A column as part of the blog too. It will be interesting to learn more about what goes on beyond the scenes as they make our favorite frozen treats. Check it out and let me know what you and your kids think of it.
