With the advent of technology and the whole "civilization" thing, I no longer have to spend the day hunting to put dinner on the table. The upside of this arrangement is not getting eaten by a lion. The downside is that our food is often hyper-processed, with nutrition losing to convenience nine times out of ten. I've always said that I'm an equal opportunity eater, and I believe that there's a time and a place to eat shit, but I would be very happy if my children didn't make the same mistakes I made, sentencing them to a life wrought with self-consciouness and ill-fitting pants.
Whether or not it's a lucky break, I'm thankful that we're off to a good start. This past Sunday after our first trip to
Elevation Burger (patties needed salt but they might have Five Guys beat in the fry department), I made an Indian-spiced salmon topped with a yogurt sauce, and Toddler Gastro smiled after her first bite and asked for more. She also ate her broccoli. This kid rules, and the whole experience was made even better by the fact that it was super easy to cook, so processed foods can suck it. Buen provecho.
