You parents out there, how do you get your kids to eat vegetables?

my kids eat raw liver and raw milk from the farm, as do I, they are big and strong for their age

none of the processed garbage

Vegetables are overrated.
This is coming from a 20 years mainly vegetarian.
In fact, most are poisonous.

Make them eat meat and organs.

This vid is extremely important.

blended raw eggs from home chickens and so on

vegetables are unhealthy

look up the carnivore diet or at least Weston A Price

you are in for a surprise

Yep, they are. One of worlds biggest cons

simple as that, easily found out with a little research

I ate a fuckton of vegetables and only became healthy after ditching that shit

We watched the Land Before Time. Then, I got my son a dinosaur hat similar to this...

Then got him started playing dinosaur while I steamed up some brocoli florets. I melted some velveeta cheese and put it into a condiment bowl and then told him he had to eat his trees so he could grow so big like Little foot's family! Then I speared a floret, dipped it liberally in the cheese and made dinosaur sounds while I ate it. He dived right in and ate it all up.

Consider making "fancy" dishes of vegetables, that is delicious and visually appealing.. Like say, root vegetable burritoes (cube potato, rutabega, turnips and the like, roast with a bit of olive oil and say, tex-mex spice mix, roll into tortilla and bake again to get the tortilla crispy, service with the usual fixin's), spinach pie (recipes easily found online), indian foods (veg curry or whatever), and so on and so forth.. There is plenty of easy gourmet vegetable based dishes out there, from all over the world, that will make them interesting and appealing, as opposed to meh boiled veggies (where you lose a lot of nutrient to the water anyway so not so great)

That being said, I don't have kids, but I cook that shit all summer (during normal years).

you tards are as bad as vegans.

Reverse Psychology-

At a very young age, don't let them even try them. Tell them it's a special treat for big kids and adults only. Say that if they even took a nibble that you would probably have to start hiding them from them. If they start getting curious, sneak them a small bite when Mom isn't looking.

its okay, let your child develop chronic disease, crooked teeth and fucked up jaws, I know better

Start when they are babies.

Lol, thanks man.

When you have kids of your own maybe I'll listen to you.

Not gonna traumatize my kid over a Brussels sprout he won't eat.

My parents forced me to eat squash when I was a kid. It was soggy and soft and I would throw up. She didn't know how to cook it properly. She is still a horrible cook. To this day, I will not eat squash. I'm sure it's delicious if cooked properly, but I still will not touch it. Because of that, I will not force my kids to eat something they don't like the taste of. Both of them eat stuff now that they used to hate. Taste buds change as you grow. There's a balance and you choose your battles. To me, food is not one of those battles

Ranch dressing (packet kind) for dip when veggies are raw carrots, broccoli cucumbers etc
melted cheese or cooked in chicken broth
Zucchini and carrot cake

Beautiful, thanks friend.

Cook them well, many kids hate any texture or crunch

Cheese sauce works well

Green beans are a favorite
stick with mild tasting vegtables

Sweeten carrots and mash then if needed

My kids ate mostly green beans, carrots, yellow squash
and for some reason loved corn on the cob, but not canned

I gave them the same vegetables for years until the became intrested in others

If you find a favorite of your kids, no harm in serving 3 or 4 times a week, IMO

Karnivores for Kids

Wonderful post and I agree.

If you didn't do it from birth, it's going to be tough; it should have just been a natural pattern of family eating where you eat an apple but make apple sauce for baby, you eat carrots but make mashed up carrots for baby. It would help to know how old they are but I would start with colors, make it fun and creative. Find out their favorite color vegetable to eat
Today we all eat red peppers and tomorrow we eat green micro-greens. It has to be their choice seeing as you did not do this naturally from the beginning and if you don't eat vegetables then forget it!

you absolutely cannot give them snacks before meals, they must be really hungry! Pizza with veggie toppings is a good way to start then slowly add more veggies and less cheese, have them participate in the process of making the dough and slicing veggies and shredding the cheese

Don't worry, with parents like you and in constant state of inflammation, your kids will even turn out more retarded than you

We don't live in a third world country where variety is limited...I figured out what we all liked and made dinners accordingly...I mean, even to this day I don't like peas, so I don't buy them...

Of all the possible flavors, textures, and varieties of vegetable, how can they not like any?

Will they eat vegetables that others have prepared?

Are you steaming them and then adding butter and salt to taste like a decent human or do you boil the shit out of them, add a pindrop of butter, and serve as babyfood glop?

I mean occam's razor suggests your kids are just being entitled little shits, but there's always the possibility you're just a gawdawful cook, and that's easier to fix than your kids are.

Casseroles.

I used to sit at that table for hours, my grandma gave up, my granddad gave me the belt.

Until this day I think about them when eating veggies.

Love them now. (The veggies)

I run a family of six with beautiful smart kids bro, I was just looking for some ideas on how other parents do it to get better, you know?

Your hard stance man, you sound like my dad, I was looking for alternatives to bringing down the hammer, maybe creative ways of maybe a better way.

Hope you understand, I'm a vet and not a weak parent at all, was looking for some ideas.

How many kids do you have?

Yes, because you crave BUTTER which is an ANIMAL FAT and is GOOD for you

salt is an electrolyte found naturally in blood that you would have from fresh meat

you do not actually want vegetables

I don't know of any way to cook squash that doesn't leave it like a wet potato sort of mushiness.. It's a soft vegetable when cooked :D

If you have a hand blender, roasted butternut squash soup is rather nice, smooth and velvety creamy.

correct but technically seafood, raw seafood, besides land animal brains have the highest DHA content of any foods

I almost never eat vegetables and mainly as a garnish better pickled

harvest your own pork brains, cook medium rare, and you'll have the best dessert in the world

I don't have kids, which you'd know if you read the thread and weren't focused on pushing your dietary zealotry.

Nothing better than grilled veggies with a nice T-bone...

all the better, please do not reproduce

Your smart, Newtons own you need to pick your battles

Brussel sprouts are not worth it, lol
