Personally, I think something like this is wasted on second graders but that is just my opinion and, as long as no taxpayer money was spent, its their business.
We started our youngsters on all sorts of foods when they were little. They still love variety. Our daughter, whom we adopted at 4 is the only picky eater. We fed her daughter lots of fun stuff like fish chowder and shrimp and especially Indian food which we love and she still loves. So probably not too early but maybe too late for these kids to develop a wide ranging palate.
Good points.
I totally agree about the taxpayer money. I tend to agree that it’s wasted on kids that young, but I think it’s less a waste of money than a ticket to Disney World. I’m betting that part of the reason was for publicity. I’m guessing the chef got his money’s worth in publicity. Looks like everyone had a good time, so in that regard, money well spent.
We should all be entitled to spend our money as we see fit whether others think it’s wasted or not. That’s the point of having our own money! And the government especially should stay out of how we spend it. (Bring back my 3-way light bulbs.)
