Of course, fruit is better than sweet, vegetables are better than fruit, and best of all it is to live a life full of whole grains. Many children also know that the colorful food pyramid, with six boxes of water at the bottom, then three boxes of vegetables plus two boxes of fruit, then four boxes of grain, first appears in preschool age.
Clever children complement the wide base plate of the water with an even wider basement and write “chocolate” or “bomboms” in it because the small, small tip of the pyramid is simply not enough for them for sweets and chips. It is the parents’ task to go beyond their own stupidity and ensure that this desire to have children does not correspond to reality.
Oat crackers and broccoli bricks
On the first unusually warm spring day when grilling, significantly more vegetables and fish end up on the grill than a few years ago. And when the children use marshmallows and gummy bears to carry out delicate research on the subject of “over-sweetened grilled desserts”, which develop enormous adhesive forces on their hands, cutlery and parents, we come to the realization: The sweet thing is not a triangle at the top – it sticks like that Melted fruit gum putty pyramid layer upon pyramid layer, broccoli building blocks on salmon fish sticks, oat crackers on low-salt herb quark.
He acts as a bargaining chip around yuck discussions and reliably ensures that the pyramid doesn’t fall over or become overweight. And that’s why we’re happy to forego the small tip.
