People in my neighborhood are so disconnected from the fresh food supply that kids don't know an eggplant from a sweet potato. We have to show them how to get grounded in the truest sense of the word.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As cool as I want my kids to be, they're just like any other kid. They don't love eggplant unless it is covered in cheese.
Food is a big part of my culture, so everyone knows how to cook. When I came to America and asked a babysitter to softboil an egg for my son and she didn't know how, I was shocked.
I just don't tend to cook eggplant at home.
When I go home, its an easy way to be grounded. You learn to realize what truly matters.
There are too many people around keeping me grounded to go off the rails. I'm my own person.
Literally, if someone says I am grounded, everyday I am at home, I actually have my hands in the ground and dirt under my fingernails. I don't have a staff to do it all for me. I still plant a seed and I'm amazed it grows.
I'm a grounded person.
The way we allow children to be advertised to is shocking. Eating is a learned behavior, and we've made these kids sitting ducks for all the bad messages about industrialized food. The fact that we allow that to go on is horrifying.
We always had our own vegetables growing up and now I'm doing it with my kids at our house in the country.
There are too many people around keeping me grounded to go off the rails.
