Lots of children learn they can get away with only eating what they really enjoy (usually junk food) by whining and becoming a "picky eater". Then that behavior continues when they are older, and they truly do become picky.
JMO. I don't like brussel sprouts.  |
DING! DING! DING!
Parents who cook their kids separate meals or bow to their kids every whim are ****ing idiots. Sure, there are certain things you don't make your kid eat (certain veggies, etc.) but for the most part, they'll eat damn near anything.
It starts early, too. Our stance is: if he won't eat it, he don't eat. The Boy's only 18 months old, but he learned quickly that if he doesn't eat what's served, he gets kinda hungry later on.
Amazing how he now eats pretty much everything.
I, however, still won't touch brocolli (sp?). Nasty, evil, vile weed that's unfit for human consumption.
