Eventually, they might just take them! I go through some 'ungreen' guilt in the grocery store, too. I'm lucky to not have picky kids, but its the sticker shock that gets me! I just can't pay $5 for a jar of organic apple sauce when the store brand is $2.19. I buy organic as much as I can, and I think that's what's important. Small steps...eventually I hope that organic will become mainstream enough when I can buy more of it! Lots of kids go through picky stages…I think the key is to not stop offering them new foods.

The more stress you bring to the table with eating issues the worse it is for ALL concerned. But try and only feed the same foods 3 times a week so they don't overdose on them and lose interest in them.... We did about 7 mths of food therapy so I can happily waffle on this subject for hours.... We have had tonnes of food issues and the main thing is – don’t sweat it.

She's now 16 and eats things that she would flatly refuse when she was younger. She's also got a terrific figure and has no food issues at all (hardly) !!!! :) Your kids will be fine......!!! Just choose your battles like I was told to.

I've looked in the organic section at the grocery store out of curiosity, saw that a box of waffles cost $34.57, and went with the Eggos. My kids don't seem to mind.;) I haven’t been green a day in my life!

Now I know. lol. Don't beat yourself up. I feel great when I can get Tessa to eat *anything.* She's in that stage where she doesn't want to eat, and she's already skinny, so I'm worried. And I keep finding half sucked vitamins through-out the house. sigh. I'm sure he's healthy enough to make any doctor smile. You can worry about crunchy and organic a little later.

That's what I tell myself, because like you, I also have a very picky eater. At least you can do it via juices, right? That’s what I tell myself, because like you, I also have a very picky eater.
