[quote=Anonymous]Personally I think you pick your battles carefully.  I have picky eaters too.   It could very well be my own fault for catering to their tastes, but it has been more important to me to have them eat healthy / bLanced meals than to develop their palates by serving things I know they don't like and not giving other options.  Yes, I am sick of cooking plain chicken, veggie and carb of some kind almost every night but they eat it. Both my husband and I were picky eaters and we both ate the bare minimum at home (my mom was ahead of her time for the 70s and always cooked with whole grains, fresh veg me lots of various sauces). I would fill up on crackers and snacks at my friends houses (I loved those houses with wonder bread and fluff!) or as I grew older, I would buy hostess cupcakes with my school lunch money on the way home from school.  Luckily I never had a weight problem but I am short.  Would I have grown more with better nutrition?  Perhaps...  In any case, I have to lecture my 3 boys about so many things throughout the day that I do to want to make dinner uncomfortable too and have chosen to avoid that battle.  I figure they eat better than I did at their ages![/quote]
