to force feed DD vegetables.

[EccentricaGallumbits]

She hasn't eaten vegetables or fruit in any way, shape or form since she was 2.

On the lunchtime news there was a bit about 5 a day not being enough to protect you from cancer or heart disease.

DD went off on one, blaming me for the fact that 'she is going to die by the time she is 25'

It is all my fault apparantly.

She's still going on about it now.

would it be U of me to only feed her vegetables forever?

have you tried those crisps you can buy which are made from different veg? Perhaps don't even tell her tos tart with and put them in a bowl and see if she notices? Perhaps if she realises she likes them in that form she'll be more open to them in other forms? Also, pasta sauce is really easy to hide veg in. I do also think though that she should choose one or two veg to eat because they're good for her- she doesn't have to like them all but surely can't hate the taste of all of them?? Will she help you out in the kitchen to do some experimenting? They do say that getting kids involved in cooking is an easier way to 'cure' fussy eating... as a last resort,look for a recipe for chocolate and beetroot cake!! She won't notice the difference! Good luck

"have you tried those crisps you can buy which are made from different veg?"

Eugh!! I bought some from M&S once. they were beetroot, parsnip and some other root vegetable but they tasted disgusting. I threw 'em away.

And I like most vegetables including beetroot (but not parsnip)

Why didn't that bold - I put ** round it?

5foot5 I'm afraid you have to put the stars around each individual word! took me a while to work that out myself.
