Taste Buds

News! Kids like any food more if it's wrapped in McDonald's packaging. I have my doubts about what exactly that means (particularly since I'm sure I'd choose something wrapped in attractive red and yellow paper rather than something unwrapped), but it's probably not good. For the moment, we're exploiting Dutch's unholy passion for fresh corn on the cob ("Honey, if you don't wash your hands and get ready for dinner, you CAN'T HAVE ANY CORN!!!!"), but I can't imagine that she will retain her junkfood/marketing innocence much longer.
