Re: Parents, question.

Idk, I have no kids and my dad especially was much more concerned about my not being allowed processed anything including white sugar, white flour, artificial flavors and colors, etc, than in making me eat specific vegetables, so long as I ate some green ones. But then, I would've starved if I didn't eat beans because beans and tofu were 90% of the protein we ate/could afford, and I liked broccoli and cauliflower so long as they weren't cooked to mush.

My dad force fed me massive doses of nutritional supplements, though, even if I threw up or cried afterward. He believed in healthy eating like evangelical Christians believe in Jesus, and he was abusive in enforcing food rules in the same way any zealot enforces rules their kids don't share.

But otherwise normal parents? Probably some control issues, not enough time/money/energy/knowledge to make meals their whole family will eat, or they were raised to eat whatever was put in front of them and never questioned it when it came to their own kids.

If my mom didn't eat everything on her plate, she wasn't allowed to leave the table until she did, and if she tried, the same food would be put in front of her at every meal, until she learned to choke it down before it grew mold and she had to eat it or get beaten.
