Flax for Omega-3
Flax seeds are a great source of omega-3. I have mentioned in another post about fish oil being a great source of omega-3. Not all children are ready to drink fish oil. Try sprinkling some flax powder onto their cereal or put it in the soup or anywhere in their food where it won't be so obvious. The taste is not too strong anyway. Flax powder is an amazing food supplement even for adults. Other seeds you can add to your diet are sunflower, pumpkin and sesame.

Why do they spray the fruit?
My daughter asked me today if she could have grapes. I said no, grapes are sprayed with chemicals. She asked if she could have strawberries.
I said no, strawberries are notorious for being sprayed.
She looked at the raspberries longingly and then placed the box back on the shelf. She knew the answer even without asking the question.
Then she turned around and asked me something else: "why do they spray the fruit and then pack it and put it on the shelf?" She is all of six. How am I supposed to answer that question?
