Kids and food

You could always try disguising it. One of mine wouldn't touch spinach, so I covered it in cheese sauce. He scoffed the lot!
Saying that I did try an experiment on the kids once. I picked a load of stinging nettles, cooked them as you would spinach, and covered them in cheese sauce. They again ate the load, and even said that the spinach was the best they had eaten!
Victory was mine, mwahahhah!

I've got my  8year old on full fat milk shakes, with only the tinyest amount of powder. Anything to get a bit of meat on him. He eats like a sparrow and is fussy.

annabelle:
:D My boy, 7, is gradually introducing a lot of new foods into his diet, a lot of it is due to seeing his friends eat different stuff at school.  You wouldn't be able to tell he is fussy, he is built like a brick shed!

L90OOK:
I always make my kids try new things...not that they're fussy to begin with.  However I do make them try it & not just give in at the first tantrum...then  reward them after.

I think it's easier ngetting them to try new foods on a trip as there is limited choice & they know you can't just order a take away.

I was like that as a kid - would only eat certain meat prepared in a certain way & only particular fruit and veg.

My advice would be to get him involved in the cubs next year (8 1/2 I think they start) - it's amazing what peer pressure does at camp when everyone else is eating "normal" stuff. :)

I sorted myself out when I was about 14 and started being interested in girls. ;) ;) ;)

You can hardly stay round their house for dinner and not eat what they put in front of you.

Other than that don't worry too much about it as long as he's healthy & running around. I was anemic for a while cause of lack of meat in my diet but if your boy's eating meat you might have to watch for certain vitamin defficiencies.

Nowadays I eat my steak rare & we had liver pate & venison at our wedding! Shows how things change!
