I think peas are really nasty. I liked them when I was younger, but I guess when you get older you have different taste buds.

I remember, around age three, peas growing in the back garden. Pinching them from their pods and popping them in the mouth was my first realisation that food came from somewhere other than a shelf.

The food isn't too bad. It's very different from the food that the astronauts ate in the very early days of the space program.

I love fresh vegetables and we always include them in our meals. I don't force my kids to eat asparagus, but they do eat peas, broccoli, and carrots.

I think a great way to get kids to start eating their vegetables is to get creative with them.

Space is not a good place to mix foods because as soon as you take something out of the package, it becomes a flying object.

If you don't like airline food, you'll probably have the same impression of space station food. I would not fly to space for the food.

Kids will eat anything, won't they?

I have this obsession with pea pods. They're just really nice to look at. They can be perfect.

We incorporated new tastes and flavors into our kids' diets from a very early age, which helped to develop their palates and prevented them from becoming picky eaters. We don't buy junk food and give them options of fresh fruit, yogurt, raw almonds, or dried whole grain cereals for snack time.
