[quote=Anonymous]I have a picky husband and a picky daughter.  I HATE the Satter method and would not use it.  I short order cooked until my daughter was in kindergarten and it really didn't make a difference for us.  She was told she had to eat one vegetable and one fruit.  She got to pick what they were.  She chooses raw carrots or cauliflower.  She alternates her fruit choice, but she really doesn't like many fruits and by this time she has tried every fruit I can find in the store.  She just doesn't like them.

When she got to kindergarten I sat her down and talked to her.  I told her that she had to start being more open about food choice because I couldn't send her to someone's house for a play date or a birthday party and worry about whether she would eat the meal served.  She wouldn't eat pizza or hamburgers.  So I made a deal with her.  I will make a family meal and if she eats it, she gets a dessert (we don't do dessert during the work week -- only on the weekend).  If she doesn't want it or tries it and doesn't like it, I will fix her something I know she will eat.

This has plan has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.  She will try anything now and will eat very nearly everything.  She will even tell me that she wants to try something new.  We can go to almost any restaurant and she will eat a solid meal.  It has been a night and day change.  [/quote]
