I thank my parents as I love spinach, brussels sprouts and many other foods I probably wouldn't have tried if not for them. I had smart parents.

I think it has more to do with the parents and how they eat, and run "dinner time". I've known parents who will cook alternate meals for their children because "they just won't eat ____". I can understand if its spinach or brussel sprouts, but if its something simple, just make them eat it. 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.
