[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just laughing at everyone judging OP for creating kids with kid-palettes.

I really, really tried (and continue to try!) to make my kid an adventuresome eater. We started out great...but he only wants rice or bread when we go out. He's gone to bed hungry several times because he was unwilling to eat what I made.

I've learned to let it go and hope he'll come around one day. [/quote]

There's a difference between eating rice and bread vs. eating nuggets and fish sticks and mac n cheese and grilled cheese.  Your kid will surely grow out of eating only rice and bread.  OP's kids may not grow out of having an appetite for only fried, greasy, salty, processed foods.[/quote]

Big assumptions that I'm feeding my kids fried, greasy, salty, processed foods, just because of the "kid food" list I posted.  They eat it at restaurants of course.  My husband and I eat CLEAN.  My son will only eat mac & cheese that I make - not the box kind.  I use rice noodles, almond milk and fresh cheese without added, processed ingredients.  We make our own pizza with organic tomato puree, spices, fresh dough, and fresh mozzerella & parmesan.  I serve the healthiest pre-made sticks/nuggets I can find that are antibiotic free, no preservatives, artificial flavors, colors - they are lightly breaded with low fat/sodium.  Not that they are served every night.  They hate cereal.  They prefer the whole wheat pancakes I make weekly, instead of the frozen kind out of a box.  They eat lots of other things and most are made in the healthiest manner possible at home.   And sometimes, they eat processed, greasy, salty, sugary crap. We live by the 80/20 rule though, so I'm totally good with that.[/quote]

Given how much you obsess over food, it's pretty clear why you're raising a kid with food issues.[/quote]
