Hi there. I'm not sure on this one, so I thought I would ask on here. DS, aged seven, is fussy about his food to say the least. If he had his way, he would live on Pot Noodles, youghurts, dairly dunkers and cheese strings. I am going shopping later on, so there wont be any pot noodles bought - end of arguement on that one. We are trying to educate ds on his five a day, and reward him if he improves his diet. This will also teach his younger sister of 21 months as she is starting to pick up on his fussy eating habits.
Going back to five a day, ds thinks yoghurts count as one of their five a day. I disagree, on the basis that five yoghurts do not count as five portions of fruit. I know sometimes items are labelled as one of the 5 a day, but not always. What is the opinion on here? Maybe a happy medium shared by yoghurts, and the real thing. DS does like bananas and grapes, but will not eat vegetables - unless as part of a pot noodle. Now, would you count the peas in a pot noodle as one of the 5 a day. I'm not sure, but maybe I can be proven otherwise.
