I sooooooo agree with you Eden. We have made a deliberate effort to not only model cooking to our children, but to also show them how to use up left overs, to grow some of our food, and to shop wisely, and to "make" them prepare meals for a family as well as for themselves.
Hopefully, as sustainability issues become more important to individuals, wise food selection and preparation will become more of an everyday consideration.
