I have often contemplated about if I am a Nutritionist and a Chef, why are my boys such picky eaters. I have the knowledge and tools to feed them nothing short of fabulous. They have their preferences and since I am choosing to pick my battles wisely, I have not had the "eat your vegetables" fight.
....But as of last Friday, it is game on. We had our yearly check-up with the Doctor and he was surprised to hear that my nine year old did not have one vegetable that he liked to eat. I put bowls of seasonal fruit out nightly in little ramekins and magically my younger son (who didn't like fruit) is making nightly requests for how he would like it served.
Last night, I embarked on my journey to encourage my son to eat his vegetables. I tried the same strategy as I did with fruit. Two choices- corn and potato. You have to try both. Whatever you prefer, you must take three spoonfuls. As anxiety fueled his system, I said, "Doctor's Orders." It worked. Corn was the preferred. Success!
Tonight, we will move on to Broccoli and Cherry Tomatoes. He will have so much chlorophyll, Vitamin C, and Selenium flowing through his muscles, he will not even recognize himself.
Stay with me as I convert my son from a Carnivore to an Herbivore.
Here's to being Green!
