Gramma Evie: Joan, if Max won't eat what's in front of him, he can GO HUNGRY. Joan: Easy for you to say. Gramma Evie: He'll eat eventually. Joan: Believe me, he won't. Gramma Evie: But he needs to know who's running the show! Joan: I think we ALL know who's running the show.
I had a cousin who ONLY ate macaroni and cheese growing up. Nothing else (seriously). For all meals. Did this for YEARS from about 3yo. When he turned 10, he added chicken nuggets and toast to the mix. But still refused to eat anything else. As a teen, he added pizza. That’s it. I SWORE he would end up with diabetes from eating all those carbs, but actually, the doctors always said he was a healthy weight. Dr said as long as he was healthy, let him eat whatever he wanted. Wasn’t until he finished HS and started working that he expanded his menu to include other items like (OH MY!) steak!
True story.
