(I could well be not remembering all this correctly, I must add.) Bento is Japanese, I think it was, for having things in separate compartments. It was pretty interesting. I have to say my niece uses me as what NOT to do as a parent, because I used to cater to my kids' finikiness. If I could do it over, I would. All you can do is provide and not make a big deal out of things, I think, (and don't make them something else if they don't like what you're serving! I speak from painful experience.)<br /><br />I do like to model health behaviors to my girls, however, so I do try to have salads and veggies, as well as meat/chicken, dessert/whatever. I do exercise. <a href="http://nogginpower2.com/family_fit.htm" rel="nofollow"> Family Fit</a> is a great choice for parents (and even grandparents) who want to be more active with their families and incorporate a healthier lifestyle. He's not spouting bean sprouts, he's saying eating should be fun, physical activity should be fun. And he gives activities and interests to let families spend time together. (Kind of like multi-tasking for your family and yourself.) <br /><br />And I'm going to check out the "Kitchen Witch" site. It sounds like a riot!
