I always problematic on what I will feed for my 3 y/o bro. He doesn't like to eat any veggy and become choosy when it comes to viand. He likes the food that other kid's fave such as hotdog, ham, chicken and like which is more expensive than the former. I just remember when I was a child, I've learned how to eat veggy even the bitter "balsam apple" because that's only what my parents can provide to us, I believe that it's better to eat vegetable than to starve. Especially in the Philippines, we do have lots of vegetable dishes to choose from.

I like veggies. I am not a vegetarian, but I prefer vegetables to meat. When I go to restaurants which serve buffets, I take seafood with lots of vegetables, different kinds of veggies. I also take salads. I think veggies have herbal values too, good for health.

I think its okay for your brother not to eat veggy because he is just three years old. But if you really want him to eat veggy try to tell him that he will become handsome if he eats veggy or he'll become tall and strong like his fave superhero. Things like that. Even if it didn't work out just keep on telling him that so when he got older he'll remember and when he become like 6-8 y/o i think that time he will try to eat veggy. Anyway our taste changes when we got older. And also tell him real things like its healthy for us and we should eat that so we wont get sick. Always tell him. When he got a little older he'll remember that and one day you'll just see him eating veggy.

Hi, I love to eat vegetables and it is good to eat lot of vegetables. I am so glad that my son also like to eat vegetables,the only thing my son dislike to eat is meat. He just seldom want to eat meat. So everyday, I will cook at least 1 dish of vegetable for him. I do read from news that some children dislike to eat vegetable and their parents are having hard time to force them eat. For those children who dislike to eat vegetables, actually the mother can try to cook dishes like nugget which use vegetable as one of the ingredients, of course, the vegetable has to be chopped into small pieces and mixed together with minced meat.It is a very practical way to get our children to eat vegetable without letting them know that they really have eaten vegetable since we have hide the vegetable inside the nuggets.
