You parents out there, how do you get your kids to eat vegetables?
This is a sincere question, we try hard, we try to make them taste good with a little butter but no dice.

They take multivitamins, and we don't eat junk but they will not touch any vegetable at all.

How do you do it?
A coward dies a thousand times, but the valiant need taste of death but once.

Didn't do anything fancy, just did what my parents did and put food on the table which eeate and were grateful for. Doing the same thing now with the grandchildren. Worst mistake you can make is offer a choice, just cook and serve.

How old? My daughter developed a taste for them as she got older. I didn’t really ever make her eat them if she didn’t like them.

I had one boy that didn't like his vegetables until I cooked them on the grill, at that point it was manly to eat them.

We did that too, but my daughter did the whole so many bites thing. I never thought that worked that well.

One thing we did was set out a plate of raw veggies with dip.
We would let them graze as much as they wanted. Works with my picky grands, too.

Why is it even presented to them as an OPTION?

sorry OP, I have only ever raised dogs. But even raising a puppy you sometimes need to be an asshole. Kids and puppies don't get to do whatever they want to do. Eat the GOD DAMN vegetables.

We never presented them as an option
They were served with dinner and expected to be eaten.
Clearly if one made them gag, At least they tried them and I would substitute another kind the next time.
You don’t make a fuss they don’t make a fuss.
And try just a tablespoon size serving of something new, then it’s not so daunting for them to try it and finish it.

They eat or they go hungry. Pretty simple.
You should never give garbage food to a child anyway. They will grow up enjoying vegetables if they start off right.

Dips to make it fun. Ketchup, ranch, Italian dressing, vanilla yogurt. Kids like weird foods since they don't know cultural normalcy yet.

Re: You parents out there, how do you get your kids to eat vegetables?
dont force your kids to eat something they do not want

vegetables are not healthy, full of indigestible fiber and antinutrients

have them eat meat, eggs, milk, fruit if they pick it

children have a natural palate, dont distort it

Well, keep in mind there's a difference between not trying food prepared for you, being rebellious, and just being full.


You can always put away the remainder of their plate in the fridge to eat later.

Never had ANY pickiness with my brood. They ate EVERYTHING.

Not sure how that happened. I never even thought about it when they were young. Just expected them to eat it all. Mealtimes were always fun, yes everyday...

I've seen kids picking up on parents' anxieties and kids that manipulate their parents through food refusal. You worry, they act out. Bugger that stupid game!

Puking is just another con.

Kids can puke on demand. It's nothing to them.

If they puke, they eat twice as many vegetables after they are done puking.

They won't pull that shit again.

Parents these days are fucking pussies and raise pussy ass children.
 Quoting: ^TrInItY^


How many kids do you have sir?

I have 4.

One is in the army, and one is going into the air force.

Plus I have 2 younger ones.

I was just looking for ideas man, not hate.
