I remember when I was a kid I didn't eat much and would throw up if I was forced to eat. I remember it was absolutely mandatory to eat the soup and at least three bites of everything (usually meat, salad and either puree or rice). But no more. Also, no desert unless I had finished my plate and still hungry. And if I ate too little, I had to drink a cup of fresh OJ before leaving the table, from my favorite tiny cup. I remember my nana telling me I was a tiny car and needed fuel to play and OJ was concentrated super fuel full of vitamins. She also told me fish made my boobs grown LOL. The things we make up so kids will eat :)
