What Is Dinosaur Time? A Fun New Hack To Get Kids To Eat Their Veggies
Briefly

The article introduces a TikTok trend called 'Dinosaur Time,' where participants eat raw greens in a playful manner to boost vegetable intake. Mom @sahmthingsup demonstrates this method by munching on raw spinach like a dinosaur, emphasizing that the approach is not about enjoying the taste but solely about nourishment. This technique has also been embraced by families, with one user noting that it became a fun competition among kids to eat lettuce, successfully making vegetables more appealing and engaging for children, fulfilling both dietary goals and New Year's resolutions.
One user, @queer_mom, shared how their family turned Dinosaur Time into a competition to eat the most lettuce. "My kids and I finished a head of romaine lettuce last night and almost finished another one because we love to compete with each other..."
"I do this before I eat my actual lunch so I don't have to pretend to like the taste or go through the process of hiding more greens/veggies into my preferred meal," she wrote. "I find salads laborious to make and cumbersome to eat."
