[quote=Anonymous]OP I would not panic about this - you really are shaping how she’ll think about nutrition for her young life. I would keep reiterating why we eat fruits and vegetables: to keep us from getting sick, to make us strong, the types of nutrients they deliver. Maybe the science part will trigger an interest. Obviously keep serving healthy foods, and desserts in moderation and leaning heavily towards fruit with yogurt or less caloric options. I would really stay away from telling her anything is wrong with her body, but tell her that your whole family is using the new year to get stronger and healthier and focus on foods that help our bodies grow (or however you want to pitch it). I bet things will even out when the weather improves and we are all moving our bodies more outdoors. [/quote]
