[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And here is the crux of the failure to teach your kids to be open to eating a variety of meals. "I wouldn't imagine it would be easy to find a kid who has never been given mac and cheese, hot dogs, or chicken nuggets."
It is actually easy for parents that know how to cook to never give any of this to their kids. Sadly, often the culture here reinforces that crap eating habits, where you think not eating something like hot dogs and chicken nuggets is denying your kids some necessary dietary component. But, it is not.
The whole eating culture is messed up. One pp said it right, if I don't give my kids these foods, they won't eat them. It is true. When kids go to a party and this is offered, they will likely not eat it. Just like the kid that never ate enchiladas will likely not eat it even at a party.[/quote] I Agree with you. My 7yo has never eaten a hot dog. She didn’t have chicken nuggets or Mac n cheese til after she was 2 and we had established good eating habits. [/quote]
