[quote=Anonymous]I have a NON VEG EATING KID.  I love 'er, but this part of her behavior drives me to distraction.  Kid #2 is a veggie hoover, however.

I would say focus on getting healthy non-veg foods in your kid's lunch.  We go for

1) savory:  sandwich w cream cheese and turkey; PB & J; or hummus and crackers (which she dips herself)

AND

2) sweet:  banana, apples (more likely to be eaten if sliced), applesauce, berries, low-sugar fruit salads; oranges (most likely to be eaten if sliced in the round or peeled segments), or fruit yogurt

AND

3) "snack": popcorn (unsalted, home-popped); cheese slices/sticks

At least that way I know she's eating stuff that is more or less healthy...

At dinner time we offer dessert only if a certain amount of healthy veg has been consumed.  Dessert is usually something like a marshmallow, gummy bunnies, one scoop ice cream, chocolate banana pop.  Enticing, right?  Well, I guess she super duper hates veg, because she often goes without.  :(  DD#2, however, shovels everything in.  :D[/quote]
