[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. In a better frame of mind and thank you for the many helpful responses.

PP inspired a new/related question:  when trying to get your kids to try new foods, how do you handle it?  They have to eat one bite and then just fill up on sides?  Let them have something else?  I worry in particular about my 6 yr old getting enough protein. If she disdains the main course, what do I do?[/quote]

new poster, I let my kids starve. If they don't eat (within reason) what is on the plate, assuming I'm not giving them something crazy like Chicken Vindaloo, then they are welcome to excuse themselves, but I'll put the plate in the fridge and pull it out when the invariably ask for a PB&J sandwich.  My son is skinny, go figure.

I always think, WHAT IF WE DID NOT LIVE IN A CULTURE OF GLUTTONY AND EXCESS?  What do children in other cultures without mothers who are short order cooks do? Do they starve? No. Does anyone think Michelle Duggar has a customized menu for her 45 children? No way, eat or be hungry. I'm old school like that.[/quote]
