I’m pleased to report that I am now part of the [Serious Eats](http://www.seriouseats.com/) family, whose patriarch is New York food writer Ed Levine. Other members of the clan include pizza expert Adam Kuban of [Slice](http://slice.seriouseats.com/); Adam Roberts, the [Amateur Gourmet](http://www.amateurgourmet.com/); and other people not named Adam.

I’ll be writing for S.E. every other Monday on the topic of kids and food (no way!). My first post is:

Banned Food

> OK, I had a bag of the stuff on top of the fridge, but we’re past the stage where my three-year-old, Iris, would request Booty and a cup of warm milk every afternoon for a snack. And adults don’t eat that sort of thing. Maybe seven or 12 pieces here and there while preparing Iris’s snack. That’s it.
