SC - So ya wanna Twinkie

[Micaylah]

My dear children are quite fussy eaters.

However, I've never seen them going hungry at any reenactment event.

Why shouldn't the children be served real food at a separate meal (if that's
what's happening)? My kids are most impressed with the Breads, Cheeses,
Dried Fruits, Soups, Meats, Carrots (usually the only vegies Owen the
Destroyer (5.5) will touch), and will even have some turnip or parsnip
chips, especially if they're cut into standard chip sizes. Andre the Giant
(8.5) is slightly more vegetable aware (thankfully) and will also eat a few
others.
Most desserts served at reenactment events are child-friendly too. What kid
wouldn't eat stewed/baked fruit and/or custard, or some of those lovely
pleyn delit puddings?

I'm of the opinion that serving non-food (hot-dogs and chips, etc) isn't
healthy for the kids, and thus should not be promoted, especially when
there's no need for this stuff.

Many people go to as much trouble with their children's reenactment clothing
as their own (me included - though I won't make them any authentic shoes
until their feet slow down - they can do with their School Blundstones for
now (Leather Elastic sided boots for non-Aussies). I would be most offended
if the children, who help design their clothing now, and will shortly be
shown how to use the machine (inside hems only!), when I can cope with the
idea, were fed modern junk food after all their efforts.


Manically yours,
