I never force children to eat anything they don't like. Not even a
little bit. I think it's unnecessary. No one gets to force me to eat,
and my kids grew up whole and healthy just fine without being forced to
eat foods they didn't like.
For instance, Munchkin The Elder dislikes most veggies, but zie does
like carrots, green peppers, and lettuce, along with most fruits, so
zie's not missing any vitamins by not eating peas, for example.
