True, true. But then you have those that are 'fussy eaters' because
their parents, mother in particular, who have kow towed to them.
Example: Five year old great nephew who will eat nothing, but nothing,
but chicken nuggets. We are at my s-i-l's house, his grandmother, for
Thanksgiving. Every possible vegetable dish has been prepared,
including turkey and ham plus the usual kiddie favorite of mac &
cheese. Noooooo, he's got to have chicken nuggets. Pull some nuggets
out of the freezer and pop them in the oven for the little prince. The
little shit does this because he can get away with it. This is at
every single meal not just Thanksgiving. I'd let the let darling
starve until he could sit down at the table and eat what everyone else
is having.
