My dad always said eat it or I'll cut your ass. I never had an issue with too much, but someone needs to ask Reeltight about eating rutabagas.

Good luck. If you can figure that out, please let me know. We keep hot dogs and bologna in the fridge because of our youngest. Our oldest will eat just about anything that I eat, other than puddin, but the youngest drives me crazy when it comes to eating.
The cut ass approach is in the future. She just turned 4yrs old. Fuzz, it is frustrating. She won't even try pizza... Seems like all the kiddo functions we go to has pizza, and I have to pack ritz crackers and gogurts
I dangle a dollar bill. My kid is one of the best eaters I've ever seen, and I think it is because of this. A dollar gets him to try it. He can finish on his own accord.
He'll eat almost any veggie like its goin' outta style!

Send them to bed hungry. They will eat eventually.
Tonight my five and three year old had white acre peas, cauliflower, mashed potatoes, and beer butt chicken. Tore it up. I just say no to most junk and they eat like pigs on good food. They know the drill. Eat or go to bed hungry!
My 6 year old is a picky eater but my 3 year old will eat anything. Don't know what it is, he is just afraid to try new things and sometimes he finds out that he likes them. But getting the food from the plate to his mouth is the hard part.
Mine both love Salmon for some reason. Sea salt and a little dill. Put on roasting pan in oven for 30-40min on 350. about half way through, pour a good bit of raw local honey over it. Its kinda overcooked that long, but thats how they like it.
For veggies, I steam broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, etc. I make them eat it, but they don't put up much fuss. They know they aren't getting up until they do. Cut off TV or whatever they like for a week if they don't listen.
Get a good blender. I do a peanut butter (PB2 Powder), banana, greek yogurt, flax seed, whey protein smoothie that they think is a milkshake. Tons of other ways to hide the yuck in the with good when you go the smoothie route. They enjoy making them too.

I used to have a dog that would eat collards.... Well he didn't the first couple days but he warmed up to them.
We deal with picky eaters. Our youngest is the worst. We went with the starve them approach. Put a certain meal out and let her chose to eat. That was until her pjs would not stay up because of the weight she lost.
Never underestimate the will power of a three year old.
We certainly don't raise our kids to push us around, but I have learned a lot about patience and choosing battles.
Starting k-5 helped a lot with the older one as she say what other kids were eating.
In the meantime, here is a funny link about it.....

A neighbors cocker spaniel will eat green beans, cherry tomatoes, okra, and pretty much anything else that will come out of the garden raw or cooked. He also loves the skin of a filleted crappie.
And I can't crack a pecan in the yard without having to share some with him.
your kids are picky eaters because you made them that way.
Stop doing what your kids want and do what is best for them. I can assure you that the whining and complaining wont last near as long as the diabetes.
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
