"En general, mis hijos se negaban a comer cualquier cosa que no hubiera bailado en la tele."
— Erma Bombeck
Simplified Meaning:
Kids often prefer to eat foods they've seen featured in fun TV shows or in advertisements. This means that if a food item is marketed with excitement or has a character dancing and singing about it on TV, it becomes more appealing to them. For example, if there's a cartoon character promoting a certain brand of cereal with catchy songs and lively dance moves, children may be more eager to try and enjoy that cereal. This can make it challenging for parents to get their kids to eat healthier options that aren't as flashy or well-promoted. To help their children eat more balanced meals, parents might try making healthy foods more fun and interesting, similar to what kids see on TV. They could create exciting names for vegetables or present them in a colorful, playful way to grab their children's interest.
