For the last time 'I don't do greens'


And there I was...eating all the healthy food I could lay my hands on...
Even a glass of Milk every day..... chirping away to my friends and preaching...
'my child will eat healthy food', 'no junk'!!
'Shubh's mother did it all wrong...you dont give the child an option and he will have toe at what's on his plate'

'How will a child get addicted if he does not know the taste..)

...and on and on...


That was before Idhant was born...


Now guess who is having the last laugh now...and a very evil and sinister laugh it is :(


My son does not eat anything, and I repeat ANYTHING , THAT IS NOT DEEP FRIED OR DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE...you guessed it...doughnuts (double trouble...thank you MOD!) tops his list of favourite food. And he likes french fries, and chocolates and chocolates and french fries and luchi (the quinessential food for every bengali true to his blood!) and noodles (preferably fried with no veggies...yes we will promptly spit it out if we see even the tiniest bit of spring onion peeping out) and thums up! (The bong gene at work again...we dont like pepsi or coke only thums up) and thumbs up to the power of branding...he knew the logo at age 1! and thats it! Have we not covered all the junk food yet?! I confess, he is a junk food addict and I am the indulgent parent who justifies by saying, atleast he is eating something :)

It is not the bong mom in me, overobsessed with feeding her son but, tips anyone, how do you make a two something eat healthy food? Yes, we dont even eat fruits as the slimy texture makes us throw up!!! HELP!!!
