Eating 'slow' food is a concept that more families need to understand. There are costs to eating fast food that many people don't consider, from the impact on the environment as well as the relationship our children develop with food.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!dreamwalknhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315075864345039948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-449555566771252042007-05-01T04:15:00.000-08:002007-05-01T04:15:00.000-08:00We have a rule:WE DON"T EAT AT FAST FOOD RESTAURAN...We have a rule:<BR/><BR/>WE DON"T EAT AT FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS! <BR/>It only takes a little planning to have a small cooler with food to make a sandwich and zip lock bags of grapes or other fruit. Eating at these restaurants only re-enforces bad eating habits in children so we just don't do it. If we run out of food we look for a grocery store and buy food there. The time it takes to do this helps us remember to pack more food next time. <BR/><BR/>Ok, there, I'm off my stump...<BR/><BR/>Mdreamwalknhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315075864345039948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-26213913782242255472007-04-05T18:38:00.000-08:002007-04-05T18:38:00.000-08:00That's a great idea! we have more trinkets from pa...That's a great idea! we have more trinkets from parties etc around the house - they would be great for road trips.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349247004635678939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-58811418286883638302007-04-05T10:24:00.000-08:002007-04-05T10:24:00.000-08:00Awesome idea!

My child (high-functioning autism, visually impaired) likes fast food toys for a small fidget tool, or something small that he can manipulate and keep him interested. He doesn't play with them the typical way, but they still have value for him.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647906900944224234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-55063603937730010682007-04-04T12:38:00.000-08:002007-04-04T12:38:00.000-08:00Great tip and believe me, with multiple roadtrips ...Great tip and believe me, with multiple roadtrips planned this summer, we'll be needing all the help we can get!<BR/><BR/>Also, thanks for your insightful comments on my blog...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04135190793124857820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-68636664661295405642007-04-04T08:28:00.000-08:002007-04-04T08:28:00.000-08:00Great tips!!
