I used to take a half gallon of cherry
tomatoes to work where the 3-4 young women who worked with me would
demolish them by 5 pm. A time or two I took in strawberries and the same
thing happened. But where I work now, the owner and her mother don't
like raw tomatoes and another employee doesn't like cherry tomatoes, and the
other 3 don't seem interested. I sure didn't have any trouble giving away
Ayers pears last year! So it varies. But my experience verifies one
comment, that children will eat fruit and leaves and veggies,
especially outdoors if either encouraged or simply allowed. Many
parents who have lost all sense of adventure and especially any link to their
own body's wants and needs will prevent or at least fail to encourage children
to eat natural foods. I think it was Dr. Jarvis, the famous Vermont dr who
listed some 30 kinds of leaves, many of them tree leaves, eaten by
local children who learned it from older children who probably learned it from
native children. Donna
