I knew a girl once, a hippy girl (age about 19), back in the 70s, who went on a carrot juice diet. She only drank carrot juice. Nothing else. She became extremely listless, extremely skinny and she turned bright orange. Her mother dragged her to a doctor and the doctor told her that if she didnt start eating food she was going to die. She came to her senses, resumed a normal diet and went on to become a (fairly) normal adult.
A friend in high school, whose smoking hot model sister went on a carrot diet also. After she turned bright orange, it took almost a year for her skin pallor to return to normal.

My dog HAD to be vegetarian. She was allergic to everything, including animal proteins. She had special vet vegetarian food she ate all of her (1 day short of) 12 years of allergy hell.
She did well besides the allergies and hip dysplasia. But, the vet diets probably ensure certain supplements are included.

Major parental fail in this situation. You are on target.

He should have cut back when he started needing glasses.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I had to cut back when my palms got hairy
To: the OlLine Rebel
It means the texture is weird and he doesnt like it. Hard to understand? All foods except 3? Oh believe me I understand it, I just can't believe it.

Most vitamins are fat-soluble, so if you don’t eat any fats, you don’t even process those vitamins.

It would be nice if they showed “The Magic Pill” in classrooms, but it will never happen. Big Food and Big Pharma will see to that.

IMO, it’s a form of mental illness. My mom won’t eat anything if the texture doesn’t feel right in her mouth. She is malnourished and only weighs 90 pounds. She has all kinds of digestive issues, heart issues, high BP, and almost all of it is caused by her diet. She’s in her mid-80’s but was relatively healthy until she started disliking the feel of certain foods in her mouth. The doctor says it’s all in her head. She wasn’t that bad when she was young but after she hit 75 or so it really got bad.

Actually better to eat fatty meats than lean protein. A lot of lean protein meats are heavily processed.

Many will defiantly claim there are only vegetarian teeth in there.
Aren’t these usually the same people down with the “evolution” theory? We are apes and related to chimps and gorillas? If so they should accept we can eat meat.
Also, true vegetarian mammals have multiple stomachs. We just don’t have that processing power.

No way would I ever run after my children begging them to eat a vegetable.... Raised three, and while we made a point of trying to cater to their preferences, they WOULD eat lots of fruit and veggies. Sometimes it took some imagination on how to prepare. Home-made pizza is a good way to sneak veggies in under the cheese and sauce.
A lot of it is making sure they get a variety of food when they are toddlers, before preferences have a chance to get set.

Knowing my boy, I can. AND his dad (albeit he was clearly abetted by his mother/grandmother). I think it’s genetic.

Most kids aren’t fooled. My boy could see those veggies and feel them “a mile away”.

He had to have other health conditions. My guess would be type 1 diabetes and the high carb diet and sustained high blood sugar destroyed his nerves.

After she turned bright orange, it took almost a year for her skin pallor to return to normal. I believe that's called Coronary Trumposis.

Probably a single parent situation, where the parent overcompensates for lack of a two parent household by being lenient.
Some children learn very early how to manipulate that self imposed parental guilt. “If YOU hadn’t driven my Dad away, he would be here to take me to football games!”
