Shaping healthy childhood palates isn’t easy in a world glittering with treats.
about scientific research on the development of babies’ tastes, Bilger drafts poor Saskia Sorrosa to act as that most unpleasant of maternal stereotypes: the Food Police. Sorrosa, who’s in the piece because she has a line of organic baby food designed to “palate train” small children to love things like beets and leeks, made the mistake of letting Bilger talk to her own kids.
It’s hard to even talk about changing mainstream kid-food culture—as Siegel argues we should try to do, by lobbying school districts, youth groups, and sports leagues to stop serving so much processed snack food so often—without sounding like a Grade A killjoy. “It’s as though we’ve all embraced the illogical notion that kids will wake up one day and suddenly start eating more healthfully,” Siegel writes, “even though we seem determined to wean them on unhealthy ‘kid food.
This isn’t quite the old “eat the dinner I cooked or go hungry” regime that boomers love to tell their kids was “just the way it was” when they were parenting us. Under DOR recommendations, a parent is supposed to be kind and make sure that there’s at least one familiar and well-liked food for a kid to eat in every meal.
