Yesterday when my son and a group of friends came home, John charged ahead of the group and went straight for the glass domed cake stand on the counter and yelled “I get the last one!”. These kids who love anything artificial also love homemade stuff which I find very promising. They love slurpees, skittles and twizzlers which horrifies me, but they also love homemade stuff so there is still hope I guess.
I will continue my fight against crap in food, especially in this house with three teen-agers and their friends.
