My daughter hated all vegetables, except for beans. She loved all different kinds of beans, and her favorite soup was ham and bean soup. 'All" other veggies, I had to *sneak* into foods. I put shredded carrots and zuchinni in spaghetti and chili and meatloaf. If you disguise them, then tell them much later, they might react different. *Sneaky*, but might work.

Was there ever a time when kids actually liked eating vegetables? I suppose it's because it's not loaded with lots of flavour like junk food is that they don't like it. I think there are plenty of solutions to persuade kids to eat a little more vegetables though. You can try coming up with new and interesting recipes for them such as veggie burgers, potato pancakes or the ever popular broccoli and cheese. There are plenty of recipes on the internet, I'm sure you'll find at least one good recipe. Another solution that you can possibly tie in with the last one is have the children cook with you so it kind of adds in some fun and they get to eat what they cooked. You could ask them to help out with new recipes? Something that's simple and easy the kids can help you make is dip, just dip some vegetables into it and eat away? I hope these solutions will help you.

Kids have never liked their veggies mostly because they hear it from adults that kids don't like veggies. Both of my kids were vegetarians until they went to school but they still prefer veggies over meat. All my fault and proud of it.

I would love an answer to this question, My 3 year old boy will not touch any thing that resembles a vegetable! It can be very hard work at dinner times as I try to include a nice balenced diet.
