Flip the plate to get kids to eat up

For a busy family, trying to get children to finish their dinner can be quite the struggle. Jo Gunn of Crystal River, Fla., is a fan of her parent’s strategy. “When we were little, we always had dessert after supper. However, we couldn’t have it unless we ate what was on our plate, and then we had to turn the plate over so we could eat the dessert off the bottom of the plate! Also, it was less dishes to wash and we didn’t waste food.”

    Are you kidding me? No dessert until your plate is clean enough to turn upside down? I should eat the skin of the chicken and lick up the extra gravy? Disgusting. My children could always have dessert if it were being served. To this day, my adult daughter will still take one bite of a fresh-baked cookie if that is all her body wants. My son is similarly inclined. Is it better for people to clean their plates or for them to throw out the same food that may cause their premature death? Give to charity and throw out food after “your body has had enough.”

    Hi there this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  12. Nice car and I always liked these, but this car reminds me of what I constantly was disappointed in with these as in comparison to, say, a Nova: the plainness with the interior It seriously was fairly stark. And I agree the pistol-grip shifter needs to go.
