Oh so Politically Correct
(Photos from ecofriend.org. )
Is your child having a birthday party soon?
QUICK!
Run to this web site: Eco Friend and get tons of politically correct ideas on how to host a "green" themed birthday party. While you're cutting organic vegan cake you can take the opportunity to "teach" your six-year-old's friends all about rare plants and animals, eco-friendly housing construction, and alternative fuel sources.
OR... you could stop being an asshole and go rent Chuck E. Cheese so the tyke can have a real birthday party with a dinosaur cake to keep his classmates from kicking his ass on the playground.
My God in Heaven, if my mother baked me the organic vegetable garden cake as a child they would have had to pull in a priest in to exorcise me. My head would have spun with projectile vomiting so fast the world would be off its axes now. What kind of nerdy retard came up with that one? Even Al Gore gave his kids real birthday parties, folks.
Give me a break.

Oh, Glenna, I totally agree. I understand the whole green thing and even support it, but if my dad had served a tofu cake instead of the Betty Crocker from a box and the frosting from a can I've come to know and love, I think I would have been scarred for life! Poor kids with their no gluten, wheat, dairy, meat, or anything fun these days.

I don't know how those cakes taste, but I love the way they look! :) I would love one of those cakes with the veggies, so cute. And I know some kids who would love them too. But, I wouldn't do an "lesson" party. By the way, my mom went on a health kick when my brother was little and she stopped using chocolate, replacing it with carob. He still gets uspset remembering the birthday cake she made him, with soy milk and carob. He hated it!

Actually, I think the cakes themselves are cool too although the garden one I can't imagine a kid liking too much. The world ones are great. But it was the teaching kids about alternative fuel sources that cracked me up. yeah, that's what I always wanted to learn at a birthday party when I was seven! Hee hee.

It's great what some people think is a "fun" idea for kids. The world cake is cute.

What happened to Care Bears and Superman cakes?

With four girls, we're all Barbie Princesses, all the time. Well, the 10 yr old is less so, but we have plenty more years of it to look forward to. These cakes are kind of cute, but wouldn't be much of a hit with my crew. Whatever happened to letting kids get together to just play and be kids?

I would have LOVED a globe cake as a kid. I'd still love one! Vegan, even (no tofu necessary). But real chocolate, please. Carob does not cut it.

Tanna--The globe cakes are cute.
Rachel--Exactly!
Fruit tart (Wendy?)--They wouldn't fly with my nieces and nephew either. They're cute but the whole "learning" games would not go over.
Kate--LOL! Real chocolate. Yes.

Seriously, don't kids get enough of this crap in the media?! You cannot afford the therapy it will take your kid to recover from an eco-friendly birthday. As for me- I driving to Chuck E. Cheese in my big ol SUV!

I'm just imagining seeing all the excitement drain out of my little boy's face if I brought out one of those cakes when he turns nine. (I have a really good imagination--he's only 13 months right now :P)
Unless, of course, you actually have a mini Eco Warrior for a kid...

Deborah--LOL! And you know, all of those things are great. I lvoe that my nieces remind me to recycle and don't think smoking's cool and all the other pc things out there, but not for their birthdays! Geez, the cakes are cute but the eco-games? No thanks! Let's play skee ball instead!
Agnela--Exactly, LOL! Gee, can't you just see it? "Gee, honey, let mommy depress you by telling you how screwed up the world you were brought into is."

Kids love cakes and I think the world cake is real cute. Quite a few choices out there and these a few more to make their party fun.
