POPSGreat Quotes by Comedians "The Swiss have an interesting army. Five hundred years without a war. Pretty impressive. Also pretty lucky for them. Ever see that little Swiss Army knife they have to fight with? Not much of a weapon there. Corkscrews. Bottle openers. 'Come on, buddy, let's go. You get past me, the guy in back of me, he's got a spoon. Back off. I've got the toe clippers right here.'" --Jerry Seinfeld

POPSHis "Last Lecture" "By the book's end, Pausch sounds like a parent imparting advice as fast as he can. The chapters grow shorter as he tries to fit it all in: Don't obsess over what people think. No job is beneath you. Tell the truth."

POPSThe Sneaky Chef-Getting kids to eat vegetables
I've heard Kids aren't born hating any foods, they 'learn' to dislike certain foods. Two books recently published sugest pureed foods mixed with 'kid's' meals can be a solution. I wondered what a 'kid's' meal was supposed to be, and whether the books were one means of countering the brainwashing children recieve during advertisments for snack foods, fast foods, candy, and peer group pressure. Another point is that children have a sense of taste that is more sensitive, e.g. very few children can handle chilli. Children can be introduced early to a healthy diet, and the definition of 'kid's' meal can be something not only nutritious, but one where the children are aware ofwhat they are eating, and it's value. The biggest problem can be the introduction of eating patterns, at 4's when children have learned to say no. I'm sure one of the problems can be giving them ultimatums, and they decide to be contrary for it's own sake. Perhaps they can be shown eating can be a discovery.
