We had to 'TRY ONE BITE' of everything on our plate. Yes, EVEN LIVER AND ONIONS, which to this day is my Dad's favorite, and one I still despise. There are plenty of vegetables I do LOVE to this day, because I was made to try! I've got nieces who are 'lazy eaters' meaning if it's crunchy (ie Peanuts, celery) they won't eat it, requires too much work, I guess. But, they both do eat healthy foods, and both as adults have gravitated away from Processed Foods entirely. What's the saying, when in the grocery store, only shop the perimeter. Never go down the Aisles. Freshest items are stocked perimeter, all of the processed stuff in the aisles.

Now, after being diagnosed hereditary diabetic, I make certain to read labels when I DO have to travel down those aisles. You'd be amazed at the added sugar and sodium in processed foods. it's almost as if you might try creating some of those products on your own.
