Great Big Vegetable Challenge<\/a>M<\/span>y friend Charlotte Hume<\/strong> started blogging at exactly the same time I did. My blog is a series of ‘grumpy old man’ rants in the direction of journalism and new media. <\/p>\n

Hers was an attempt to engage other parents with the problems of making her 7-year-old son, Freddie, eat his vegetables – an attempt that would run through the vegetable alphabet tracking progress along the way.<\/p>\n

It was – it is – a brilliantly simple idea, executed with great panache and charm by Charlotte<\/a> (and – of course – Freddie and sister Alex). You can see it here<\/a>. (My own idea –I’ll confiscateyourNintendoDSyoulittlef&*^ker.com<\/em> didn’t quite get traction.) <\/p>\n
