So funny I read this post right after my 3yo dishes l ate all her broccoli, her brothers broccoli, and seconds on... broccoli. Didn't finish her rice, though.

I think she might actually like fruits and veggies?

That said, I think a good trick is to style the performative foods as Japanese bento style because kids are kinda easily swayed by look and feel of food, so if it's cute or cool they are more likely to eat it. We're planning on doing that anyway, mostly cause my wife was raised in Japan where that was common.

Another thing to keep in mind is parents are often the role models, so liking or disliking things will matter. If you hate fruits and veggies, they'll notice.
