10 Moms on the One Vegetable Their Kids Love to Eat — How I Feed My Kids

I'm pretty sure kids have hated vegetables since the beginning of time. One of these days anthropologists will unearth new cave paintings depicting families eating dinner together, and there, between the fire and the spear, will be a pictograph of a kid refusing to try his spinach. That's the kid mine descended from, at least.

I really try not to hate the moms who say, "Oh, vegetables? I just stick anything I can into Sally's sandwich, and she eats it." That's great for little Sally, but not every kid wolfs down Caesar salad and roasted cauliflower voluntarily. Luckily, there's usually one vegetable (or two, if you're lucky) that even the pickiest kid will eat. For mine, it's edamame (this week, at least). So there's hope.
