The Mexican lunch was excellent. I went to a restaurant that claims to be the only Mexican taqueria in Sweden, the only one that makes authentic and fresh Mexican tacos. I have never eaten authentic Mexican food so I have no choice but to accept their claim until I visit Mexico. The restaurant looked pretty ‘authentic’ with wooden tables and benches instead of the classy architecture that taco bell and others have. The price unfortunately was not authentic Mexican, quite far from it. In any case the food was excellent.

Only the beef quesadilla is in the photo, the taco was camera shy and hid in my stomach before I got the opportunity to take a photo.

There is growing publicity on children eating junk food, drinking flavoured milk and the list goes on and on, so does the publicity. Finally an article discussing the other side of the coin, why it is OK for kids to be allowed to eat junk food. And I fully agree with what is written. The article is titled “Let Them Eat Cake (Why Junk Food Is OK For Kids, In Moderation)”.

The key word is moderation. Excess consumption is bad, so is depriving consumption.

The article discusses in detail what happens to kids who are deprived. There is slight exaggeration but the point is made loud and clear. In school if kids say they won’t eat something because its unhealthy more likely than not other kids will force them. Life for such kids can become quite miserable. 

If kids are deprived of something, it becomes forbidden and they may want to have it even more. Adam did with the red apple, we humans have not changed since. 

I remember my pet dog Bell. He was awesome. Anyway when he was not allowed to leave our compound he would look for any opportunity to escape, becoming a pro at digging holes under the fence. And we had to be super careful each time we opened the gate. On the other hand when he was given freedom, we did not try to escape, obviously. He would go and come back. We can learn from our pet dogs.
