Some of my "mom friends" have been talking about making recipes from one of two books (I'm sure there are more out there): The Sneaky Chef and Deceptively Delicious. The premise of these books is to get your picky eater to eat more veggies, by adding them (read: sneak them or deceptively and inconspicuously add them) unknowingly into recipes that your kids eat.

My question: is this the start of kids NOT eating vegetables throughout their life (since they are hidden in the recipe), or is it just a helpful tool to get them through their "picky" phase?

There are many causes of depression and thousands of people suffer from it every day throughout North America. While the cause of the depression for some is easily found, the cause is not so easily determined for others. Just about anything could be a possible cause, including environmental factors, biological factors or physical factors. Depression can be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, or it could be caused by a past traumatic event.
