[quote=Anonymous]DH and I cook a lot. We love food and  we eat most cuisines. And we cook most cuisines. There is always a lot of food and a lot of choices avaialable for my kids. I have never minded not making them something different (and something that they request) if they are not super keem about what I have cooked.

I do not fuss about them not eating what is on the table. I don't mind cooking them anything they request instead, like a short order cook, ordering delivery or letting them fix something on their own - cereal, frozen stuff etc.

I have a simple philosophy about food and clothes that I got from my grandmom. She used to say that you should dress according to other people's opinion, but eat the food that you want to eat. I can't imagine forcing my kids to eat something that they don't want to.

In my home, they have been exposed to many different cuisines and they have been offered a lot of fruits and vegetables and healthy options.  Our home is pretty much devoid of cola, chips and cookies.  I don't worry that they will be scarfing down McDonalds and eating doritos. That is not what they are picking to eat. [/quote]
