ok I think that most children are pretty spoiled when it comes to what they will and wont eat. It is a whole lot of work to make them eat healthier and listen to their constant whining. The other day my 10 yr old daughter looked at me and said" can't we just for once be like normal families and have junk food for dinner." I cook a lot of veggies and my kids still manage if I do not watch their plate, to sneak away and leave those veggies on the plate. It is frustrating, and it is the rare child who does not prefer pizza and mac n cheese to grilled veggies and fish. I can see why tired parents who just want to feel like they did thier job and gave their kid some dinner would opt for junk instead of healthy food. Yes parents should do the healthy thing but it is difficult.
