This mom turns her son’s food into cartoons to encourage him to eat healthier

Laleh Mohmedi had a problem that all mom’s face: How do you encourage your kid to eat healthy food?

While other’s might resort to scolding or just waving the white flag, Laleh made the decision to transform the food into her kid’s fave cartoon characters.

The positive response to her creations were so overwhelming that she decided to launch an IG profile called ‘Jacob’s Food Diaries‘ which has 129k followers and counting.

And to think it all started when she decided to craft her son’s pancake into a lion.
