The snack that does what?

Quick note while I am on a blogging roll - Locavore eating could cause people to think you are crazy. We were at a party and the baby ran over to another baby and stole their crackers. Fine, good, whatever. Toddlers do what toddlers do. I said in passing to the mother: "I wonder if she will like those." She had never had a goldfish cracker and I was really curious.
Judging from the shock on the mother's face I know understand that if you don't eat food that smiles at you before you are two, you are going to have 98 very challenging years ahead of you. She didn't talk to me the rest of the evening except to share with one other party guest that my child had not ever eaten the crispy little cracker.
Your children don't eat GOLDFISH®?!? Well no, but she did enjoy prime rib last night? Does that help her fit in? What a hard life our kids lead.
