It's necessary for parents to teach kids how to cook from an early age. I believe you will {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with what I say. However, you also need to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} that part of teaching your kids how to cook is teaching them about the ingredients(材料).

    One of the best ways you teach them about ingredients is to take them to go shopping with you. I know it won't always be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to do so. Maybe you have to spend some money {#blank#}4{#/blank#} your crying kids the big model car, because you don't want {#blank#}5{#/blank#} people to look at you.

    For one thing, it's great to let your kids see what food looks like in its {#blank#}6{#/blank#} state(状态). I don't mean seeing cows and chickens {#blank#}7{#/blank#} around (though that is good, too). I mean that they can see fruit, meat and vegetables before you {#blank#}8{#/blank#} them up or make them become dishes.

    In fact, if you live near a farmer's market, you can take your kids shopping with you there. At the farmer's market, your kids can talk to the people who grow the food. At {#blank#}9{#/blank#}, it will make your kids see whole(整个的) pineapples(菠萝), but not {#blank#}10{#/blank#} yellow rings with the hole in the middle.
