You cannot force someone to eat what disgusts them.
I love all veggies, today, as an adult. As a kid, I spent hours sitting at the table with the stewed tomatoes from the soup still in my bowl. I hated them. I could not gag them down. I would not gag them down. I did not, either. It was a texture thing. Finally, it would be late enough that my parents gave up. It was years before I could tolerate tomatoes that were neither fresh nor made into a sauce.
Children have different tastes than adults. I never had a chicken nugget as a kid and I tasted pizza for the first time at 14. I had the parental model that is being put forward by the government. I still knew what I liked and what I didn’t and I would not eat anything I didn’t like. Period.
