After vomiting when I was made to eat something I didn’t like (by my teacher), I was glad my parents didn’t force me to eat food I didn’t like, except for new foods, which we had to take a small bite first. We were expected to clean our plates, but were allowed to serve ourselves, so could decide on our serving size. My parents didn’t want us to waste food, but having fought “the battle of the bulge” my whole life, I finally learned it was okay to not clean my plate – especially if I didn’t get to serve myself.

I think it’s wrong for parents to force their kids to eat something they don’t like.
