I only wish I were as good about eating fruits and veggies as my 10 year old. He will polish-off a massive bag of baby carrots in a matter of just a couple of days. And I have to fight him for berries. It's getting him to eat protein that is a trick. When he turned 1 his birthday dinner included a lot of broccoli. We couldn't get him to eat his cake (though now he LOVES sweets--he gets that sweet-tooth from my hubby's side of the family).
My sister's boys are MUCH pickier. Though one is autistic and not nearly as picky as a lot of kids with that condition. She struggles to get them both to eat veggies of any sort. Until recently she didn't eat very healthily, though, either. The family joke is that her favorite meal is Mountain Dew and Doritos.
