I think in my house peas are the winner right now with carrots being a close second.
Peas here too

Does the USDA still qualify ketchup as a vegetable? If so, I'm going with ketchup.

That is sad. My 5-year-old is super picky about what he eats, but he will eat both corn and peas. French fries? He won't touch them. And that makes this mom-of-a-picky-kid very happy! (In fact, he nearly melted down when we went out for lunch today and his grilled cheese sandwich came with French fries.)

My first thought was carrots, but then I remembered that french fries are potatoes, and are generally considered a veggie, so that's my guess.

So, now I'll watch and see if I'm right...

Is anyone disturbed by the fact that this video is put out by Gerber?

French Fries=Unhealthy

Gerber=Healthy ?


As for DD, her favorite veggies are Edamame, broccoli, cucumbers and frozen peas. They HAVE to be frozen. Silly girl!
She eats lots of other veggies too but those are her go tos.

Yes. It's nice to see attention called to it, but...ugh.

Yeah, french fries are probably #1 with the older kids too. That makes me sad, but I know so many people who think that's all kids will eat. IMO, if that's all you give them, that's all they'll eat.

That said DD love peas, broccoli, asparagus, green beans, pretty much anything green and cooked, she also loves tomatos and mushrooms. She has no molars for raw veggies. She once picked up a catalog of seeds that had all these beans on the front of it and said "mmmmm!"

That's just wrong.

Not surprising, no. But still terrible.

My kids like sweet peppers the best. That's probably related to how much I like them myself-- I serve them nearly every day. Technically peppers are fruit, though, right? Onions and carrots are big favorites, too. And sugar snap peas.
