[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  21;24, that has been my philosophy for a long time (tho I don't do all organic).  Everything they are served is SO plain.  I bake chicken or fish with salt and pepper, then offer sauce choices at the table.  I dry off his meatballs, which are cooked in sauce.  The other kids put tomatoes, cheese & sour cream on certain dishes and his are plain.  I've pretty much stopped feeding them casseroles because he has so many issues with them.  But am I shortchanging the other kids?

And our "family time" has become "Listen to DS pitch a fit about dinner" time.  Do I just let him eat nothing and not have him try anything?  I absolutely agree that he eats so much breakfast because he's starving.

He turns down snacks, outside of the occasional plate of wheat things & cheddar or bowl of popcorn.  I have a variety of options available that the younger kids eat and that I offer him when they snack, but he either says no or asks for one of his two choices.  I usually let him have a reasonable portion.

I don't want the battle at all.  I am trying to figure out how to get past it AND get some healthy food into him.[/quote]
