Media and society tell you it's bad. Just feed your kids everything in an unbiased way to see what they like. Grandparents, friends and other people will say things and it will bias them.
That's fair. It's also very important to listen to your kids when they tell you they don't like something. Broccoli literally smells and tastes like human waste to me - even if it's hiding in something. That's clearly not bias.
This is arguable. Lots of kids will reflexively tell you they don't like something they don't want to try, and it often takes several tries for them to develop a taste for something and they suddenly love it. A better option is to ask them to eat one bite of something less favorable in order to access several bites of something more favorable. Whatever broccoli trauma you have is highly atypical, I'm sorry you're dealing with that. I hide broccoli everywhere
At the same time though- ask kids about why they don’t like it. I was in my 30s before I realized bananas don’t burn everyone’s mouth. I literally thought burning and itching was part of the flavor profile and most people just like it..? Or like bananas enough to not mind that?
