Was: Wanting to start unschooling food-Now: Monkey Platters
Meryl Ranzer
I'm behind in reading my emails, and I know I'm late to the game with this thread, but I think this is worth mentioning.
I opened the link to the Sandra's Monkey platter page, and was looking at the pictures.
Logan (4yo) was watching Toy Story on the computer sitting next to me.
He took one look at the photos and asked for a tray of cucumbers and baby oranges (clementines).
I made him a tray with what I had in the house.
He did not ask for the marshmallows ;-) but he did want an ice-cream cone afterwards.
I make him trays like this often, but I thought it was cool that the images inspired him to ask for one.
I'm attaching a photo.The starfruit came from a recent supermarket trip after I read the link about doing better, (I think it was something Joyce or Pam said, and it struck a chord).

-=-I'm attaching a photo.-=-
photos don't come through.
If you can put it on a blog, or send it to me and I will put it somewhere and link it to the list if you don't have a way to do that, that would be fine.

Beautiful.
There are so many people who just wouldn't believe it, and will never see it, because they are determined to be judgmental and controlling.
The person who asked if I was from the Bay Area had only joined the list earlier today. I returned a batch of critical e-mails, one of which said this list seems very closed minded, and asked her to read here before posting. I didn't know when I let the first one through that it was her first day on the list.
People who think we are closed minded and that their controlling fearfulness is somehow indicative of positive thought and open mindedness might never, ever see a little boy ask for oranges and cucumbers while looking at a photo of marshmallows and strawberries.
For those new to these discussions, there's a story of my daughter Holly, when she was little, wanting plums. Of all the things in all the stores, in all the world, she asked for plums.

You kicked me off the list and then talked about me leaving me no choice to defend myself. Who is controlling?

You were not kicked off the list.
I asked you to read the introduction before posting again. I suspect you didn't do so. Please do.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AlwaysLearning/
I did not control my children as you seem to be suggesting people might want to do.
I do attempt to maintain the peace of this list, and keep it on topic. That's why it's as old, as large and as on-topic as it is. People are asked not to post until they've read a while.

You're still on the list <g>
Let's discuss the ideas you presented in light of whether they lead
anyone closer or away from unschooling.
