Really? A kids grocery store? Can't parents teach children to make healthy decisions at home? Do we really need our children to be that consumer concious. Jeez, when I was a kid I was lucky if I got a choice between cream cheese or pimento sandwiches (gross choices so, you can understand why I might be a little bitter). That aside, I could not imagine taking my children there to actually purchase anything. This will quickly go the way of the paw-spas that are popping up everywhere in DC. Really, Seriously a dog spa - whatever happened to shampoo, a hose and a rag?? No wonder generations of young peopel feel intitled. Seriously? Really? A kids grocery store?

I think it's meant to take your kids to once in a while so they can feel like they're shopping and making their own good decisions on what to eat, rather than taking them to a place with unhealthy food. The concept is just a great idea. Start your kids early with how to shop for food, make smart food choices, etc. Plus rather than have your kids beg you to buy them this and that, you can load up a card with money on it and tell them they have that much to spend! Good concept, but I don't think these kid markets will pop up all over the place. I don't think that's their intention.

I find it interesting that you all think it's a great idea. The thought of yet another grocery shopping trip is, well, unappealing to me. On the opposite end of the spectrum really glad home delivery has been resurrected since the days of HomeGrocer and WebVan. In Portland we have a few kid-centric restaurants with play areas that serve okay burgers and pasta and wine and beer so it's worth it to take your kids there. I'm surprised they're not just trying to get these boxed meals into other grocery stores. That would make a lot more sense to the truly time-starved parent.
