[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think part of it is persistence and part - luck.  For the first part, you eat the way you do at home and you tell your kid that other people might eat differently, but that’s what we do at home.  Involve your kids in food shopping, planning and prep as early as possible, teach them how to cook basic stuff.

My two oldest are young adults and live on their own with their respective partners.  Both cook a lot, both eat reasonably healthy - I’d like to think I had something to do with that.

Now to the luck part.  I rarely eat out or order delivery, most food in my home is cooked from scratch.  But there are certain things and foods that I just don’t eat, and that’s that.  It’s mostly a texture thing for me, I am picky this way and I doubt anyone could do anything about it.  My mom tried, it didn’t go well.[/quote]

We do involve him the kitchen because he enjoys helping us meal prep and bake. He is in daycare and tells us all the snacks his friends bring. I feel guilty at times like I’m depriving him of a fun childhood.[/quote]
