Kids will eat vegetables
“My kid will not eat veges!” Many friends of mine have said that on many occasions. How hard can it be?
It must a common issue as one of the big supermarkets has been advertising easy recipes to entice kids to eat their greens.
Variety is the spice of life. Start early and offer your kids different kind of food. Kids are curious and adventurous, they will eat new and weird looking things as long as we do the same 
. As parents, we just have to make sure that a variety of food, especially vegetables and fruits are available 24 X 7, 365 days a year. The less processed the food is, the better it is.
Fast food might be quick and easy, but they are not nutritional. Visit the golden arches as treats and having it once a while doesn’t hurt.
Nothing beats a home cooked meal. Go to the local markets, buy fresh seasonal produce and kids will love the ever changing fruits and vegetables. Fresh vegetables such as celery, carrots and cucumbers by themselves are delicious and nutritious. No cooking is needed, how easy can it be? While at the market, grab some meat and seafood at a cheaper price compared to the supermarkets. Smart shopping can save a fair bit of money.
Parents have to lead by examples too. You eat, they eat, simple as ABC. Be disciplined and happy cooking with the next recipe. No need to be fancy, simple recipe and fresh food is the way to go.
By the way, Happy April Fool’s day.

Good morning, Happy Fool’s Day!!
This guy dies and is sent to Hell. Satan meets him and shows him the doors to three rooms and says he must choose one of the rooms to spend eternity in.
So Satan opens the first door. In the room there are people standing in cow manure up to their necks. The guy says, “No, please show me the next room.”
Satan shows him the next room and this has people with cow manure up to their noses. And so he says no again.
Finally, Satan shows him the third and final room. This time there are people in there with cow manure up to their knees drinking cups of tea and eating cakes.
So the guy says, “I’ll choose this room.” Satan says O.K.
The guy is standing in there eating his cake and drinking his tea thinking, “Well, it could be worse”, when the door opens. Satan pops his head around, and says,
“O.K., tea-break is over. Back on your heads!”
Happy April Fool’s Day!

All this information is so helpful. I grow my own vegetables, prepare them, and lose weight for my efforts. I am also well liked by my neighbors because I share.

I think it is just hard to get kids to eat vegetable, thanks for the advice though, will try it.

Kids may eat meat more than vegetable because they can grow faster with meat. I think when they are 6 years old or more, they should begin eating more vegetable so as to keep a balance of nutrition.
