"No, don't eat that!"

Today's a noon release day ("What, another? Don't these kids ever go to school?" Yeah, I dunno.)

In the meantime, here's a fantastic podcast by Dr. Joel Fuhrman on getting kids to eat their vegetables. His cunning use of reverse-psychology is adorable.

I also appreciate and recommend his book Disease-Proof Your Child. Sadly, our diet is not nearly as healthy as Dr. Fuhrman's, mostly because I've never met a cookie I didn't like or a cake I didn't want to bake. But there are days when I watch my son chowing down on his second heaping plate of steamed broccoli, potatoes, peas, and carrots, and think, "Dr. Fuhrman would be proud!"
