On the risk of sounding negative towards this touching story, do they learn how to cook real foods apart from the USA culture sweets?
At 6 yrs old I was "forced" to do more kitchen help involving touching (washing single raw ingredients) beyond entertainment cooking.
Appreciate raw single ingredients vs processed and industry packaged is a means of surviving...and an obligation to every parent that has the means.
"Research" shows that early growth years are very important - no surprise here.. ("Missing Microbes" book for example reference for interesting perspectives on why "kids" grow bigger , not better)
That said I liked the Covid cake showing up for its touch of defiance: both of the Covid thing & the need to all over sudden start to think about boosting our immunity after years of neglect and dependence on medicine to fix the problem..
