My son will be one on Sunday. He has been eating salmon for four months now. Loves it! Other parents can’t believe that he eats it. I’m so sick of hearing, “All my son wants to eat is hot dogs and mac and cheese.” I don’t even keep those items in my house.
My in-laws do the spray butter thing and I can’t stand it. I call it chemical spray. That stuff has a list of ingredients that covers the entire back of the package. How can that be better for me than the miniscule amount of butter I eat?

The stench given off by that fake popcorn butter always makes me gag. Ick.

Good for you. I believe that kids will eat anything you want them to eat, as long as a) parents will also eat it;  b) they don't get filled with junk food otherwise; c) you're willing to cook for them.

Being a grandma, I think I can attest that "c" appears to be the deal-breaker nowadays.

And yes, moderate amounts of butter can't help but be better than a spray.
