    As the parent of 2 kids who were pretty picky as preschoolers, I thought this blog had excellent advice.  It was hard grit my teeth and not engage in battles with them.  My own parents were big believers in the "clean plate club" and the "you have to eat at least 3 bites" philosophies, and their handling of my eating as a little kid never made me like lima beans or hard boiled eggs.

    My favorite comment was the proud mommy of the 14 m/o who will eat rice with curry or cumin or other spices.  Woo hoo, Mommy!  You're a parenting genius getting that 1 year old to eat rice! Yeah... get back to me in another 3 years on what a great eater your kid is then.

    Exactly.  DS was an awesome eater up until around 16mos.  He'd eat just about anything we put in front of him and it was amazing.  Then it all came to a grinding halt and there's a list of maybe 5 foods he'll eat right now.
