cycy, that idea doesn't work, though. Kids often don't want to eat what is good for them. Some become such sticklers for this that, try as they can, the parents can't get the kids to eat correctly, and the kids get sick and have to be placed in hospital. My cousin's kid constantly had bouts in hospital just because of refusing to eat since he wasn't allowed to eat ONLY what he wanted to eat, therefore he would not eat at all. This is extreme behaviour, yes, but kids have strong wills about what they don't want to eat. So many will not eat their veggies. Should we allow them to make the choice for themselves that they won't eat veggies? No, we REALLY should NOT let kids decide for themselves.
