Our kids have to ask. I never did as a kid (but I was a really light and pampered "picky" eater - totally my mother's creation I might add!!)

I don't want the boys eating half an hour before dinner then not eating dinner and then wanting a sandwich just before bed. I don't want them snacking on fruit all day (too much fructose is not a good thing for anyone). I don't want Flynn eating a kilo of cheese a day (which I am SURE he would do if I let him - he is a dairy fiend!) I don't want Oliver eating nothing but olives. Both try to get into the unwashed carrots in the crisper which drives me nuts.
