[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: Do other countries have these issues with their kid and eating, especially non-Western countries? [/quote]

My mil is from an island in the pacific ocean. I can only speak for my inlaws' home, not for other parents in her home country, but serving lots of food to guests is important to my mil and seeing kids eat is important. She will cook anything she knows the grandchildren like if she notices that they aren't eating the food that is being served.  It is very important to her that they eat, and there are no food battles or even cajoling to eat certain things, the important thing is that the kids are eating anything. She was like this with the older grandchildren 20 yrs ago and she is like this with my young kids now. [/quote]

My grandmother was from an island in the mediterranean sea.  She was the same way -- with her own kids, with her grandkids, with anyone who came to her table to eat.  Eat, eat!   You don't like this, I'll get you something else.

Of course her cooking was so good that most people liked whatever she made.[/quote]
