[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our children have always eaten the same meals that are prepared for the adults? I don't understand this American custom of making separate meals for children?[/quote]

I am not American but my eldest will not eat the food we prepare. She will try but she is freaked out by foods with strong smells or flavors, foods with combined ingredients, and most meat. We try not to prepare her separate meals but it is not at all uncommon for her to only eat, for instance, rice and one vegetable side out of everything served. We will often supplement with greek yogurt or a simple bean paste so she gets some protein, but she will not eat most of what we eat.

I think some children are just picky. My husband was reportedly the same way, and I will admit that as a kid there were many dinners where I just picked at the edges of my food and didn't eat much. I would fill up on breakfast and lunch which tended to have fewer heavy, savory items. Those are precisely the foods my own kid avoids now too.[/quote]
