What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the media's role in promoting healthy eating habits. Can you think of other Web sites or TV shows that have similar messages to those you find here? Do you think getting kids interested in cooking makes them less likely to eat fast food? Also, if you were to submit a video to be featured on this site, what would you make?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
The young chefs are poised and confident, making it easy for kids to believe that cooking is something they can do, too. And, while the featured recipes are a pretty predictable selection of kid favorites -- like mac and cheese, pizza, and hamburgers -- the home-cooked choices are much more nutritious than the fast-food versions kids might want if they were eating out.
