Re: Children and vegetables: Is it worth it?

When I started to freak out because Firstborn wouldn't eat vegetables, our
pediatrician confided that he didn't start eating them until he was grown.

Give the child lots of the few she does like, if any (usually raw), and lots
of fruits and, of course, vitamins. Our only food rule was that the children
had to try one bite of everything but didn't have to go beyond that if they
didn't like it.

You are facing far more important battles with the children in the years
ahead. Only you can decide if this is the hill you want to die on!

Good advice, IMO.
