Who ever wrote this list has never had a kid, or never had a kid that
liked junk food and tried to make them eat healthy instead. What
"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" 8 year old do you have that will drink
and eat the above "alternatives"?

Anyone for whom

- modelling healthy eating choices is a part of every day life (and
prefereably started when the kid was born rather than adopted later. An
ounce of prevention...)
- parents don't allow them to eat crap on a regular basis any more than they
allow them to stick knives in their eyes.

In other words, the ones that are already eating this way, and who never
ate the other way... So what? It's easy as hell to not drink Coca-Cola,
if you have never had it.

However, in the real world, where kids already eat the junk food, what
then? Give a chicken nugget eating child some grilled chicken breast
strips, he or she will ask what the white stuff is (the chicken) and
refuse to eat it. Pointing to healthy alternatives the child will REFUSE
to eat does no one any good! How about some alternatives that they might
actually give a try?

It is easier. But it is not the end of the world for a child to change
either.


However, in the real world, where kids already eat the junk food, what
then? Give a chicken nugget eating child some grilled chicken breast
strips, he or she will ask what the white stuff is (the chicken) and
refuse to eat it.



And thene what? Proceed to starve to death on thee spot? Assuming that you
speak to your child anywa, you explain about healthy eating habits and
learning new ways. You call upon the health classes that they have received
in school (assuming that they dont think the teacher is a dork) or whatever.
Then you do it.

There was a generation of kids who started out not wearing bicycle helmets.
They had to adjust. BFD.

A human animal, in the absence of one food, will eat anotherl. Only if you
pitch a battle or have other issues of weirdness going on in your family,
they won't starve themselves.

**** is hard. But it is better to do the hard thing of transforming eating
habits (particularly when it is relatively easy as a young person) than have
to deal with the conseuqences of a lifetime bad eating habits.


Pointing to healthy alternatives the child will
REFUSE to eat does no one any good! How about some alternatives that
they might actually give a try?



for how long is a child going to starve himself? I have no objection to
alternatives that will be tried. I saw nothing particularly interesting or
disinteresting about the alternatives provided. But the tendency I see for
parents to throw up their hands and say ... they won't eat! is a bunch of
crap and nonsense. Most people eat some huge amount more than they need
anyway.

You're funny... Reasoning with an 8 year old? ROTFLMAO!

Oh ****, you mean you are being serious? *shaking head*

There have been studies that show that forcing a child to eat healthy food
only re-enforces the idea that the food isn't good to begin with. Giving
the child the choice of eating good food or not eat, many will pick to not
eat or eat very little. However, what that does is make them associate
healthy food with punishment.

So you believe that when posting a list of alternative foods for children,
the expectation that the children in question will actually eat it is
unreasonable?

I have one. If you don't treat your child like a moron, it is amazing what
results you get. My five year old can make the right food choices. She is
not a moron. She is not treated like a moron.



Oh ****, you mean you are being serious? *shaking head*



What is scarier still is that you think your child is so weak and pathetic
that he or she cannot manage something as simple and brainless as garbage
in, garbage out.

There have been studies that show that forcing a child to eat healthy
food only re-enforces the idea that the food isn't good to begin
with.



Did I say anything at all about forcing any eating? I did not. Please read
for understanding.



Giving the child the choice of eating good food or not eat,
many will pick to not eat or eat very little.



That's LOVELY! The child can make a *choice* abot eating based on whether
or not they are hungry rather than wehether or not they can soothe their
woes or whatever in a bucket of ice cream.

Why do we think, in this society, that on the one hand one ought to eat
healthily and on the other hand that if the child does not eat very much
theere is something wrong? Every animal will not choose to starve.

However, what that
does is make them associate healthy food with punishment.



Not unless the parent views it as punishment.
