A Better Way to Get Kids to Eat Veggies? I hope.

This seems like a good move and a natural one for Disney to promote. They are rolling out a new line of Disney branded fruits and veggies. They are introducing them this week, including Disney Garden Foodles, which will be combinations of fruits, vegetables and other sides like dips, raisins, crackers or cheese in a Mickey Mouse-shaped tray, and Disney Garden Fresh Veggies & Sauce, which will be cut vegetables with a pouch of specially formulated sauce which can be microwaved.

We are having a terrible time getting our veggie-challenged children to eat fruits and veggies, so maybe we can reintroduce them with some of these. They were certainly fed tons of them as babies and toddlers, but their father is a non-veggie eater, so we have a double-challenge on our hands. Maybe I can feed them to him too ;)

you have to sneak them into the meals! go get Jessica Seinfeld's book about hiding your veggies in meals. i forget the name of it but it has some great recipes!
