I wasn't forced either, by my parents. But I had friends whose parents would
make me eat certain things---and drink MILK------EEEEYEEEWW!

But I *was* a member of the "Clean Plate Club"---all those starving children
in China, ya' know!. I didn't have to eat anything I didn't care for--- but I
DID have to eat what was in front of me.

I babysat for people who force fed their children---and made ME an
accomplice! THAT'S when I decided I would never do it. I saw so many children
made to eat---and just chew and chew and chew, never swallowing. Suppertime
would last for HOURS! When Cameron was a baby I refused to get caught up in
that, just KNOWING that he would be a picky eater. WRONG! That child has
always eaten everything he's ever tried! Go figure! Whenever you're
prepared...! <G>
