CNN — Dr. San­jay Gupta reports that food donated to Haiti is not being dis­trib­uted. He finds an orphan­age that is rationing half a can of beans per day among many chil­dren while a ware­house full of food sits 3 miles away.

See a demon­stra­tion of how to involve chil­dren in the cook­ing process. Kids love to cook and it’s great fam­ily time together while teach­ing life­long skills and accom­plish­ing a task of prepar­ing daily meals. Involv­ing chil­dren in the process increases their will­ing­ness to try new foods and forms healthy eat­ing habits at an early age. Learn to make a salad with chick­peas, red bell pep­pers, cucum­bers, and a lemon-olive oil dress­ing and a Mediter­ranean flat­bread with a tasty Zatar top­ping. © 2009. NMSU Board of Regents.

In vir­tual vil­lagers 2 the lost chil­dren how do you get food? ?
I have ran out of coconuts and the water is pol­luted? what do i do?

Our supe­rior skin hap­pens to have more zest than a nor­mal person’s skin, our mus­cles are extra ten­der, and our blood has an extra sweet taste to it.

Why are our strengths being exploited just so rich peo­ple can have a deli­cious meal? Men­tally retarded peo­ple are so socially evolved, many peo­ple still don’t real­ize it to this day.

We are valu­able life, yet we’re used as food while some of us are still babies. It sick­ens me, angers me, and sad­dens me. We’ll have a retarded pres­i­dent some­day, you just wait and see.

I babysit an 8 year old girl and her brother who is 2. I need activ­i­ties for them to do!

I’m open to out­side and inside activ­i­ties. I’d like to take them places, but I don’t know where to take them. Any sug­ges­tions would be helpful.

I also need some meal sug­ges­tions for lunches. Some things they could help with would be good, but aren’t nec­es­sary. I’m try­ing for some healthy things, but again I need any and all suggestions.

Oh, and no pool things please. The 2 year has a ter­ri­ble fear of water.
