I have no idea what you are talking about.

I'm talking about proposing new freshly cooked healthy meals with no complex discussion. Take it or leave it, no big deal. The story the kid gets is: You won't go to bed hungry, and all you see is the people you love eating the same attractive food that's put before you. Of course you're going to get hungry/curious and eat with the family.

Kids adapt to the reality laid out before them. Construct a healthy reality and you get healthy kids.

(I do agree with cooking with your kids of course. I'll even raise you one: we work in the field 3 half days a year with our kids, so that they know the farmer that grows their vegetables by name.)
