America's Heartland: Fast Facts about Food
Setting a good example for our kids is very important and I very much agree with the facts presented in the video. I have struggles with getting my kids to pick healthy foods when we go shopping, though as they get older the understanding gets better. My two year old children want cookies, but my six year old also wants apples. So it goes both ways.
Extreme Picky Eaters
I am sorry but I honestly do not believe a word of this picky eater disorder. It really seems like they are saying there is something wrong with everybody who does not like eating anything! This of course would make no sense because we are all individual people not robot machines who should be accepting correctly formatted computer code. Sure if we were computers and food were lines of data, we should be accepting of the food. But we are all different are going to interact different with different things, the real trick is finding what kids enjoy. I never force foods on my kids, I just allow them the chance to eat the good healthy stuff I offer. If they need to try something different I do not accuse them of having a disorder, any more than I would accuse my kid who gets distracted easily of having ADHD!
Do you think it does more harm than good to label our children with a disorder just because they have opinions of what they like?

but she claimed that corn dogs, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, pizza (but not the mushrooms on the pizza) and hot pockets were all ok to eat. I served what I served and if she didn't eat she didn't eat ... and that included treats. She now gets NO juice, no sweets, no sugar cereal etc. Funny how after 2 weeks of this she now eats what we put on her plate (albeit with a frowny face). Oh and my DH had the brilliant idea to add vitamin tonic to a half a glass of milk for her to take for her "tummy" aches and he told her it was medicine for stomach aches(it was a dose for her age but had no yummy flavoring) and after the first dose her tummy aches miraculously disappeared no matter what she ate
