[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they eat raw vegetables, have a veggie tray in the house. It’s easier than cooking vegetables that they won’t eat, and they can snack on those as well. If mom is getting free child minding, she can back off.[/quote]

OP here,

I put out a variety of things, and tell the kids I won't make something separate, but they can ask for anything I'm cooking with to also be served plain.  So, for example, last night the kids saw me putting red pepper in the beans, and asked for some raw.

Last night, one kid picked fish, beans and rice, cucumber, red peppers, mangos and tortilla chips.  When they called mom at bedtime and reported that's what they ate, mom was upset because it wasn't balanced, and nothing was green enough. So, I thought I'd check with DCUM.

[/quote] omg the mom is nuts. [/quote]

Mom is 100% nuts, but none of that was vegetables. If mom is crazy about vegetables, get them to take a bite of spinach or something and call it a day. Or just ignore her. [/quote]

I can wrap my mind, sort of, around cucumbers being a fruit (I know they are botanically fruit) but how are peppers not vegetables? [/quote]

Peppers?  Like a bell pepper?  How is that not a fruit. It grows from a flower and has seeds on the inside. It’s literally the fruit of a pepper plant. [/quote]

You are as insane as the mom[/quote]

Do people really not know the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?  Maybe this explains a lot. [/quote]

Do people not understand that botanical definitions aren’t relevant to food?
