I think its completely fair and reasonable and quite a clever tactic to use to get little ones to try something new

My DS has a great diet, but red meat, he REALLY has to be in the mood to eat it, so we will tell him that beef/lamb is chicken and he eats it more willingly

The Parenting Police haven't come a'knocking yet, and I'm pretty sure the balanced diet police will give me a gold star. But yep lets face it I'll have a fail when I have to explain myself to the honesty police, but I can sleep at night
