Real food....

Friends, if you do not know who Jamie Oliver is, look him up because he really has it right.

I was making the kids pancakes Saturday morning for breakfast, not exactly from scratch but with eggs, batter, water etc. When my son saw that I was cooking them... he threw a fit!! " I want REAL pancakes" as he proceeds to open the freezer and look for the mini pancakes that we got him hooked on when he was A baby and teething.
So now frozen means REAL FOOD in my kids minds. I am a terrible mom!!!
Processed frozen foods, sugar cereal, processed chicken nuggets.....what ever happened to the dream that I would feed my children only the best foods for them, fruits and veggies, no candy, blah blah blah.
Now I bribe my kids with desert, if only they would just eat their processed frozen dinner that was heated up and thrown on their plate. What has this world come to???

I am reading a health and nutrition book on sugar and it's damaging side effects because I am over weight and want to get to the source of my overeating and love for food, junk food.
So I make the changes....excersize, do everything I can to loose the weight and become healthier..but I continue to allow my kids to take in all of the terrible things that put me in the position that I am in, ugh. ?what? Because they are not overwight it is ok?
Where, oh where, have my priorities gone, where oh where can they be?
