Quotes to ponder:

"Research has shown that the most important factor in getting kids to eat new foods is exposing them to the food."

"I would NEVER force a child to eat a specific food. I think it's fine to ask them to try one taste, but if they don't want more, that's their prerogative."

"Mostly, I should reassure you that most kids end up eating diets much like what they grew up eating."
