[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I"m just throwing this out there because I constantly hear the advice about how your kids should "eat what you eat." But they don't want to! [b]It does't taste good to them -- they have brand new taste buds, so strong flavors are too much for them, plus kids naturally gravitate towards foods that are sweeter and simpler.[/b] I figure as they get older they will naturally become more interested in more adult flavors and start to eat more of our foods.[/quote]

I have every faith you know your own kids best, OP, and this may be true for them, but then to presume it's true for all kids is more than a bit of a stretch. I've known toddlers who grew up on spiced curries, and southwestern chiles, and who have adventurous palates, and some who do not.

You can say it's right for your kids without making rules about how it has to be for all the other kids, you know?[/quote]

I am from a culture that is known for its very spicy dishes and even we start out serving the children milder food and gradually add the spice in. OP isn't necessarily wrong in this regard, she might have just said it in a weird way.[/quote]
