    Tara - the good news is that eventually, he's counting on YOU to simply give up the fight. And that may be in order. Kids won't die if they don't eat certain things. You can perhaps try later to improve his diet. He is yet too young to relate eating fiberous foods with being able to poop well. Later on, when it's really a problem, perhaps he'll be able to figure it out with your help (again), maybe not. And he'll STILL grow up. I know, I have two NON-veggie eating adult kids. I was always more about picking important battles with childrearing - I only had so much energy to funnel on battles I thought were more important to their wellbeing than a cup of broccoli. Good luck to you, keep us aprised....

    There is a book (can't remember name) the chef makes foods for kids and puts veggies in the food and the kids never know. There use to be natural stool softeners for children.

    Just remember even though you dont like a certain food (meat) it should be introduced to him. Never let him know you don't like it before he figures out if he likes it first that may make him not try it.

    he used to eat meat all the time, but now he's less likely to eat meat then veggies. unless its mcd's nuggets or kfcs chicken fries lol!

    i always offer them foods that i don't like. my daughter would live off tuna if i let her, and just the smell of it makes me wanna me sick lol!

    i haven't bought v8 juice in a while, but i always buy 100% juice thats 2 servings of fruits and or veggies
