[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those girls are crappy eaters. Bad mom parenting skills. If they are hungry, they will eat healthy food.[/quote]

Clearly you don't have picky kids.  Mine would go days or weeks without eating even if we gave them what they liked.[/quote]

We ate healthy/regular food when the babies were in the oven. Lots of food from different continents and made sure it was spicy. When they popped out, continued the veggie/fruit healthy baby food. When they were toddlers we served them everything; broccoli, asparagus, chile, sardines, hamburgers, thai chicken, pizza, sweet potatoes, salmon, omelets, lentil soup, blah blah blah. They still eat most everything. It takes a little effort to plan, but worth it for their health. They didn't have a choice to be picky eaters. Wasn't going to happen on my watch.[/quote]

Uh huh. We did the same. Where we "fell off the wagon" was when the kid's pediatrician said he'd fallen off his growth curve and we needed to focus on his gaining weight. He refused to eat avocadoes, eggs, tofu, beans, cooked chicken, beef, or pork in any form, sausage, nut butters (even in baked goods), yogurt, and cheese (we kept serving them, but they went untouched). We found a few options but it was not a varied diet of healthy foods we were all eating, it was catering to pickiness so he'd be able to grow. The thing is, kids DO have a choice, unless you are literally force feeding them. The choice is not eating. [/quote]
