| My son was the same with veges, he is now 16 and is a vegetarian. We often have a laugh when I tell him how difficult he was when he was little and not eating veges. Now he eats all veges, but hates cooked carrot ! When he was little I used to get around the vege thing, by grating veges in things like hamburgers. He used to gobble that up. You can puree veges and put some in some icecream, its only limited by your imagination. Personally, I always present fresh food, and always have, to my family. I avoid processed food. Perhaps your son loves fruit..my son, when little, would eat lots of fruit. My doctor told me that if he is eating fruit he is getting enough nutrition. I totally agree with haus proud, when she says its all in the preparation of the veges. Who wants to eat a lump of broccoli, well I do...but others may not be so keen. What sort of protein does your son eat ? I heard today that some research has concluded that if a person is not getting enough protein, then they will usually eat more other foods, usually carbohydrates until they have enough protein. This can often lead to obesity. |
