Sometimes it takes me a while...

Today I saw my kids get excited for the umpteenth time about buying all sorts of purpley, confetti-sprinkled, pink-and-shiny, star-doused, magic, rolling-twisty snacks...  And it wasn't until we were at home, relaxing after dinner that I realized:  they are being entertained by the foods (loosely termed) they eat.      Food as entertainment??  Sheesh... no wonder there is an obesity problem in the U.S.   I have been soooo guilty of supporting this way of thinking... and I have only now figured it out..????   Good grief!
