Children too fussy to eat up
MOST mothers routinely throw away part of their children’s meals without getting them to eat up.
Only 12 per cent have a rule that their children finish what’s on their plate. Two-thirds of parents admit eating the leftovers.
About a half bribe children to eat veg, hide tomatoes and carrots in sauces, and cook multiple meals for fussy eaters, a survey by website Mumsnet found.
Spokeswoman Justine Roberts said: “Parents go to huge lengths to cater lovingly for their family’s food tastes but it doesn’t seem to be stopping the waste.”
