Huh! That is so interesting about the whole wheat stuff. It is not the case in Canada; the food guide here recommends that at least half of the daily intake of grains be whole grain. Here is the section I found in the Canada food guide notes:
Make at least half of your grain products whole grain each day.
•Eat a variety of whole grains such as barley, brown rice, oats, quinoa and wild rice.
•Enjoy whole grain breads, oatmeal or whole wheat pasta. It starts at 2 years, though, and I can't seem to find any info on LO's 12-24 months. Nathan does have white pasta about half the time, since wagon wheels are his absolute fave type of pasta. I could mix it with cat food, and he would eat it.
Anyway, today he ate...
B: toast (whole wheat!) with butter, peanut butter, and jam, as well as 1/4 of a plum and 1/4 of a satsuma (and no rash all day!!)
S: refused green beans and cheese, but ate some crumbled granola bar (
) and the same green beans
L: raisins, cheese, cucumber, peas, and corn
S: 1/4 of a gingersnap cookie, 1/4 of a raisin oatmeal cookie, and 1/8 of a chocolate chip cookie
D: huge serving of penne with fresh homemade pesto (had basil and kale and parsley in it), chicken, mushrooms, onions, and red bell peppers
For his cookie 'snack', we were out grocery shopping and the store was PACKED so it was taking forever... stupid Mommy forgot that it is very nearly Canada Day (July 1st). We were taking so long that we weren't home in time for N's snack and he was getting upset, so DH hit the free samples table and got three 1/4 cookies. I objected to the chocolate chip one, so he only got a little bite of that one!
