Cookin' Continued from page B-1 "What really got me going was I went to a Washington association for the Education of Young Children conference," she said. 'Tnere was a woman there that was representing a group called the Feingold Associa- tion." The Feingold Association, Smith said, has long studied the affects of artificial dyes, flavors, preservatives, and other food additives on the be- havior of children. What Smith found shocked her, she said. "He found that some children that were exhibiting behaviors, for exam- ple autism or ADHD or those things, if they went on an elimination diet, where they eliminated those things, they were fine," she said. Smith immediately knew that she wanted to cut out artificial ingredi- ents from her food, but had to figure out how. "It made me want to cry to think of how many children might be on harsh drugs that didn't need to be," she said. "It's hard to find things that are convenient," Smith said that money really af- fects how well a person can eat. How- ever she convinced the board of direc- tors of the child care center to incur the added expense of more fresh and homemade food. "It's sad but it's more expensive to serve real food," she said. Smith had to switch to buying more expensive brands and making some food from scratch rather than from mixes, which she says in time consuming, but worth the effort. "Not all children have reactions to someone else's pride and joy some- these things, but they're not real, we thing that might be harmful to them don't know the cumulative effects of and even if its later on down the line." these things, some of them are known Smith even makes her own gra- carcinogens, and neurotoxins," she ham crackers.
