Forcing kids to eat food they don't like literally causes eating disorders. There's abundant evidence of this. Not that anyone cares I imagine, I know everyone's "opinion" trumps evidence these days.

My dad would say to me (when i baulked at eating say a tomato) "I was the same when I was wee but your palate changes as you get older and one day you will love tomatoes" and he was right. His message was ok, try it, if you dont like it today you will soon. He always ended it by saying - you need to eat vegetables though, that isnt an option. I love all veg now save the cucumber
