[blparent] fruits and veggies

Sun Mar 1 20:00:12 UTC 2009

Hi Jennifer,
I had to write back to you, I was chuckling as I read your e-mail, because 
that is exactly how my Mom raised us! I whole-heartedly agree with you! 
Growing up, I was one of 4, my Mom did the exact thing. And do you know, my 
3 brothers and I are all very healthy not picky eaters as adults?! My Mom 
would always make sure that we drank a glass of milk, first, and if there 
happened to be a "treat" drink in the house like soda or juice, (soda 
usually only in the house, if there was going to be a party) then we could 
have the treat drink, after we had had one glass of milk I can remember 
going to bed hungry, and I can also remember my brothers going to bed 
hungry, but not for very long, as they were very active in sports, and 
you're right, they ate whatever was in front of them, they even ate liver, 
once, which I can say that I tried, but boy was that hard to get down!
Amy.
