[quote=Anonymous]NP here -- my first thought was also some budding disordered eating. When OP wrote about foods her DD won't eat I immediately thought of control issues. Being a vegetarian (and I am one myself, so I don't think its inherently bad) is way to exercise more control. At the very least, this is a kid who is highly focused on food and that can be a red flag. I'm not saying OP's DD has an eating disorder, just that this is something she should be mindful of for the future. If I were OP I would take this to the pediatrician. Its likely that the pediatrician will either say its a bad idea at this point or that there have to be some very specific guidelines. In which case OP can lay down the law as coming from the doctor and make it less of a power struggle thing. It will also get OP's DD on the doctor's radar screen if there are future issues.[/quote]
