I've realised recently that my son, in particular, doesn't have a particularly varied diet. Basically, he eats hamburgers / fishfingers / pasta / a load of white carbohydrates. He has a list of things he hates (raw tomatoes / most veg apart from carrots and broccoli / most seafood - apart from fishfingers / chicken etc). The other day I made a chicken noodle soup with carrots and baby sweetcorn and it wasn't a hit.
I've noticed that he's getting rather tubby - I've entered his details into the NHS BMI calculator and it's come up as overweight. I know that there is a chance that he will shoot up and eliminate some of the problem but I don't want to rely on that.
I also have a younger daughter who comes up as a healthy weight for her age and height.
Do any of you have any ideas? Part of me thinks I should just ignore the list of stuff he won't eat and serve him bloody peas but it does seem unkind to give him things I know he hates.
