Offering a Second Choice?

[Inspired by Reggio]

Fair enough I value all viewpoints, but do like a good debate

Agreed ... seriously allowing a child to be seen as competent and capable to CHOOSE if they are hungry enough to try what was offered to them is not starving them!

Not to mention this same 'illogic' of I did not want to deny her what she wanted cause I was afraid she would starve was recently used by the mother in THIS story of the 17 year old child who collapsed of malnutrition in England after her mother catered to her picky eating of only having chicken nuggets for 15 plus years ... and the irony was she DID starve in the end anyway

Honestly human beings need a variety of foods from all the food groups in order to get the proper balance the body's organs need to thrive ~ catering to picky eaters deprives children of that BASIC NEED!
