Rachael Ray wants to get your kid cooking

Famous TV chef Rachael Ray wants to get kids cooking, and as the founder of Yum-O, a non-profit organization that helps parents and kids form healthy relationships with food, she's getting kids cooking one tyke at a time, according to the Well Blog over at the New York Times.

And if you ask Ray, the key to developing healthy eating habits in kids (in other words, how to get them to eat more veggies and less junk,) is by making healthy food cool. Says Ray: 'You can make vegetables cool to a kid if you're mixing them up with something a child likes. If a kid says "What's in there?" tell them, "It's boogers and dinosaur guts." Get a giggle out of them ... There are all sorts of ways to build healthy relationships with your children and food. You have to become more kid-like yourself. Think about what excites the child. It's your challenge and your job to make food cool, fun and an adventure for them.'

I for one totally agree ... what about you?
