[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  I don't want to have one of those losers who grow up only able to eat grilled cheese.  Picky eaters in general are just sad.

So- they eat what we eat.  And they really love it all [/quote]

I seriously hate this attitude.  I have two kids.  One will eat anything.  One really has specific tastes.  When I have attempted this approach she will just not eat (and complain she is hungry).  She is tiny and underweight for her age so she needs to eat.  She eats more than just grilled cheese, but I'm not about to make some fancy meal and expect/insist she eat it.  I may insist she try, but sometimes she really makes a disgusted face after trying.  Sometimes she tries things and likes them and asks for more.  But no, not everyone likes all foods.  DH eats everything.  I certainly don't!  There are foods that I truly do not like the last of and have trouble eating.  Why cannot that be the case for a kid?  I'm not saying they should eat pizza every meal, but I generally make things I think everyone will eat, or if I want the rest of us to eat something else that she won't she gets a simple separate meal.

So you are a sad picky eater and you've passed that on to your kid.  Congratulations?   How very unsophisticated. [/quote]
