Preventing Picky Eaters (was Re: Lana's baby)

[Guest guest]

<<Have you heard of kids around 2 - 5 or so refusing to eat anything

but a few foods?? I won't tolerate that kind of behavior so if it

happens it will be a battle but I wonder if it will even be an issue

as the children I know who did that were raised on sodas, mac & cheese

out of a box, mashed potatoes out of a box and fast food chicken

nuggets!>>

My son is almost three. Gluten trouble runs in the family, so he's

still gluten free. We severely limited sweets until he was two, but

even now, they are rare.

I've never met a less picky eater. He's the one that will drink

straight soured raw milk that would otherwise be tossed. I can't think

of a single thing he doesn't like. Of course, there are some days that

he doesn't want certain things, but I'd say that's normal.

Here are some of the foods that " normal " people are shocked he likes:

black olives, pepperoni, Mexican food, Indian food, hot sauce, etc. He

begs for " some frozen, " meaning frozen veggies. He especially loves

frozen pepper strips!

Oh wait, he hasn't liked sour cream the last two weeks. That's the

only thing I can think of. He even likes cod liver oil.

#2 is due in April, so we'll find out in another year if we just got

lucky with him or if his diet has prevented him from being a fussy eater.
