Jessica Seinfeld became an even more famous wife of Jerry Seinfeld after publishing a cookbook, Deceptively Delicious, that offered tips for incorporating vegetables into kids’ meals. While the title made it sound as if Seinfeld wanted parents to trick kids into eating something unknown, she clarified with Parent Dish that was never the intention. It was more about enhanced vegetable marketing.

“There is never a moment when my kids don’t know how important vegetables are. I add purees like I would add milk or sugar. I don’t think of them as anything scandalous or deceptive. I think what’s really deceptive is how food companies market their food as good for people when it’s not. That’s the deception going on in the food world, not making your family’s food better for them. That’s not something I feel bad about.”

This fancying up of vegetables and other healthy foods and placing them in different locations is similar to what one high school in New York did to increase sales of wholesome foods and decrease consumption of sugared milk, desserts and other less desirable items.

Stella McCartney Kids Leo Sweatshirt

Stella McCartney has launched her first kids collection and is allowing child fashionistas with a techy side to enjoy the fashions via an iphone application, available from itunes for free. A percentage of sales from the Leo sweatshirt, shown above, will benefit the McCartney family Meat-Free Monday campaign, aimed to encourage people to eat vegetarian one day a week to reduce the impact of meat consumption on the environment.

The Collection: Keeping in Stella’s green ethics, the clothing line for boys and girls, aged newborn to 12 years, features modern styles crafted from organic cotton and absolutely no fur. According to ChildMode, every piece of clothing has been given a different child’s name, such as the Lara, an organic baseball shirt with stripes and floral prints.

“I wanted this first collection to include basic pieces that are comfortable and that address a child’s needs, without sacrificing the fun and carefree elements,” Stella said.

It’s no wonder Robin Quivers is searching for the perfect vegan energy gel. The radio personality and Howard Stern‘s sidekick is gearing up for a New York City Marathon that takes place on November 7th, 2010 and will benefit two charities who’s goals are to help families cook nutritious, healthy food, The Sylvia Center and Family Cook Productions.

Americans are cooking less in the home than in previous years. Data collected from the The Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) found less people were cooking 2 or more meals per day or even 1 meal per day at home in 2001 than they were in 1993. This could be due to time constraints of a modern society, or, like some food activists have suggested, more generations are growing up not knowing how to properly prepare nutritious meals for themselves. By targeting children at a young age, hopefully, programs like The Sylvia Center and Family Cook Productions will reverse these trends.

Daniella Monet PETA

Daniella Monet recalls the day she had to dissect an animal in class.

“The one memory I have, as far as dissecting goes, is in elementary school. I cried—a lot—and I was actually sent to the nurse’s office, and I used the phone to call my mom and say that I couldn’t do it.”

“It’s gross. It’s sad. I do think teachers should provide an alternative…And if kids stand up for themselves … it’ll definitely make a world’s difference.”

Hoping other adolescents won’t go through the same experience, Monet is posing in this PETA ad titled, “I Choose Not To Dissect.”

If you’re looking for an alternative to dissect for yourself, your child or students, you should know…there’s an app for that!

The Frog Dissection application by Emantras Inc. gives the educational experience of science class minus the guts and flesh of a real animal and having to fight with your ethics or the school board on making the decision to dissect.

Michelle Obama invited local school children to harvest vegetables from the garden when she was caught holding a prized possession from the patch.

The sweet potato was picked at the beginning of prime season (October through January) and this Thanksgiving favorite in the U.S. is sure to please White House guests in some dish soon.

Sometimes mistaken for yams, sweet potatoes are actually an entirely different vegetable, a root of the vine in the morning glory family that dates back to 750 B.C. in Peruvian records.
