I consider myself a good mom and I value my children's opinions and preferences. Some things they just won't like...just as there are many things I do not like. I will not force them to eat those or starve. In my family kids have equal rights. Now that doesn't mean junk food comes into the house as they don't have the money to buy groceries but their input is greatly appreciated and usually heeded and the things they don't like are most times avoided. Thankfully there are MANY things that are wonderfully healthy that they do like. I am not sure I like the “good mom” label or the one size fits all instruction.

If you don't start your kids eating junk everyday when they are young they will not develop this tendency to only like such rich-tasting foods. Some kids will be difficult too and a good mom would not give in and go to the fast food place. A good mom would be strong about it, serve the food to the child and if he/she refused to eat it a good mom would ignore the fuss and fits and let the child either eat it or leave it. They will not starve to death if they pass over one dinner and chances are they will come to the kitchen asking for their untouched dinner to be re-heated for them and eat it vegetables and all before bedtime rolls around.

I really disliked this book on so many levels (and I ranted about it like a crazy woman on my blog) and even though I still have some real issues with this kind of "hiding" philosophy, I enjoyed reading about your enthusiasm for the book and your stories of kids. Thanks for the balanced piece. I may send some of my readers your way to check out "the other side"! Hi – I thought your review of this book was illuminating, well-written and fair.

My son is also a good eater. He eats all veggies, except broccoli. In fact his favorite food is black beans. I have always offered him fresh, whole foods from the time he started solids. He does eat some dry cereal, but for the most part we stear clear of the processed stuff. I really think shaping their tastes from the beginning helps a lot too. Mostly, I want the cookbook to sneak more nutrition in food I'm cooking for DH and I! LOL We are the junkfood lovers in the house. I blogged the show too:

So, I'm going to request this cookbook for Christmas....my hubby is always looking for something to give me....and I think this would be a great addition to our family. We try so hard to eat healthier, but sometimes my boys (ages 4 and 2) turn their noses up.....but I have noticed if its at Grandma's house....same fresh veggies...they will eat it right up! But, I love cookbooks.....so I think I would certainly put this one to good use!!!! Thanks for the post!!

I checked another book out from the library called The Sneaky Chef and it is the same concept - sneak purees into different foods. We are trying pizza with white beans, carrots, and sweet potatoes blended into the sauce tomorrow. I am having people over so I'll see how their kids do too - mine will eat all of these without sneaking but I want to try this first and build up to cauliflower which they both refuse to touch.
