Varies, sure. But my mom didn't coddle to our whims or prepare separate
dishes just because we were children. Based on what my friends with kids
told me (of course those "kids" are all grown up now) they were all too
often making them mac & cheese or buying them chicken McSomethings to
prevent them from having McFits LOL

That's the easy way out and wouldn't be acceptable in my house which is why
I chose not to have children. But I digress. I was eating artichokes,
brussels sprouts, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, lima
beans, all sorts of squash (I could go on but I won't!) from the moment I
could take a bite of solid food. If I didn't like it I didn't *have* to eat
it. But I was not allowed to proclaim I didn't like it without tasting it
first.

The only thing I really did not like but now love is peas and that's
probably because Mom bought the canned ones. Yukky mushy things. Dad liked
them served in cream (bland white) sauce on toast. Oh gross! Fresh peas
(or even frozen ones) are a delight!
