Mothers can easily understand why their children should have milk, cer- eals, vegetables, fruits and other wholesome foods. So far as the child is concerned, sometimes this is easier said than done for many mothers ask the question— "How can I teach my child to eat and to like wholesome foods?" This is a question that cannot be answered off hand. First of all, let us consider how we have formed our own food habits. Two people inay eat the same food and one of them pronounce it "poison- ous," the other "delicious." Both of these persons presumably have the same sort of taste organs and the same sensation is doubtless carried to the brain of each. Yet the sensation is pleasant to one person and disagree- able to the other. How can It be? The differ•enca lies not in the food, not in the taste organs but in the way each person thinks about it. It takes a psychologist to explain these differ- ent mental attitudes but any observ- ing person soon realizes that we like, in general, those foods to which we have been accustomed from our early years. The Chinese like rice and the Italians like macaroni because they are accustomed to these foods, not be- cause of any inherited partiality. An Italian baby brought up in a Chinese family would doubtless rcrow as fond of rice as a Chinese baby would of macaroni if brought up in an Italian home. A child is born without habits but begins to develop then at a very early age. As new foods are added to the diet of the child, give small amounts at first to accustom the child to the new flavor. Then gradually increase. the amounts and the variety as the powers of taste are developed. The young child will become accustomed to new and wholesome foods so that by the time he is two years old he will have learned to like cereals, milk, eggs, potatoes, bacon and a variety of vegetables. Not only do we like foods to which we have grown accustomed by long ex- perience, but we easily acquire likes or dislikes by imitation, conscious or unconscious, of those whom we ad- mire. This is true especially of a child's imitation of a parent. If par- ents set a good example of eating and liking all wholesome foods, the chil- dren will unconsciously imitate them. As one little girl said: "At home we don't talk about por- ridge. We eat it." Anything in the nature of a luxury is always enticing. It is human na- ture to desire a thing which others ife eve THE STOIX OF A, BLOOD FEUD 13Y ANNIE S. SWAN: ase! "Love gives itself and is net;:bought,"-•--Longrel)aw. CHAPTER III.—(Cont'd.)
