This weeks theme of my daughter's foods continues. As said, we have to boil, mash and freeze everything she eats. Every day my wife and I (normally my wife) has to cook something. We bag it up as you can see here in my @momone's post:

Sometimes, when I am bagging it into the little zip-lock bags I feel like a movie drug dealer. Maybe in the future that's what it will be. An illegal fresh food trade where governments restrict access to fruit, meat and vegetables and instead push sugar and preservatives...oh wait...

I don't know why it is so hard to eat consistently healthy but I have struggled with it most of my life. I blame myself and lacking willpower yet I also have a suspicion that there is more to it than that but that could just be the conspiracy theorist in me. I think that if not already, then in the near future there will be another class gap formed with access to quality food products. This is hand in hand with income gaps too but I wonder what effects low quality food has on children, especially those in poorer communities.

It would seem to me that the groups of people who have the greatest need for quality food are pushed fast and processed foods and it gets offered conveniently at an attractive price. Why not provide cheap, healthy food? Isn't that better in the long-run for a healthcare system? Sometimes I wonder what the ulterior motives are for poor food management at a government level. Again, my conspiracy mind ;)


Btw, that is sweet potato. Our daughter eats very healthy foods and I will try to build the understanding in her young so she will not struggle in the future. I don't know exactly how yet. 

The shot is with an extension ring and a flash. The beam of light is the flash on the curtain. It took me a few tries to get what I wanted with the light and dark separation and the light rim on the food. I am still unsure what I am going to do for blue but I have a couple days to think on that one.
