Service Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complaints．Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips．
According to a representative of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard, low quality meats．As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much．The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor．According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats．Kids may not have the words to describe why they don't like the meats, but they're certainly willing to express their displeasure．By serving meats from Service Foods, complaints can be reduced．Service Foods meats are all natural and organic, meaning the meats have-no chemicals or water or colorings that could change the taste．And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they won't taste strange to your children．
If you're facing different types of complaints, Service Foods may still be able to help you．Some families have mealtime boredom．The same meals, served in the same way, week after week, can be incredibly boring and hard 'to look forward to．When it comes to these complaints, Service Foods has the answer right on the web．Just go to http: //www. servicefoods．com and you'll find a long list of recipes to try．Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format, so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals．By following these recipes from Service Foods, complaints relating to boredom can certainly be reduced．
While Service Foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totally eradicated, as picky kids will always be picky kids with concerns, the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need．
小題1:Service Foods can solve mealtime boredom by ______．
A．serving flash-frozen meat
