Nutrition according to William

William's class at school has spent some time talking about good nutrition and the federal guidelines.  I know this because he likes to comment upon the dinners I make and how he feels they relate to the food pyramid.  This doesn't mean that he eats any better, just that he knows what he should eat to be healthy.  Lets take this mornings breakfast as an example.  

When I returned home this morning from the seminary drop off, William was already awake.  We chatted a bit and I asked him if he had had breakfast yet.  He confirmed that he had indeed eaten a hot dog bun with ketchup.  Inquiring further I asked him if he considered that an adequate breakfast.  "Sure," he said, "grains and fruit."  I had to laugh.  A highly processed white bread hot dog bun and ketchup qualify in his mind as having a breakfast consisting of grain and fruit.  

Sure, when you break it all down, he is technically correct in his assessment of his meal.  I am just thankful that I have a few more years to supplement his food education before he is responsible for feeding himself full time.
