If you didn’t make her eat healthy when you had the chance. It’s too late now. Your time telling her what to do passed a long time ago.

Let her eat what she wants to. If you really want to know? Seek professional help.

Let her eat what she wants in the fruit and vegetables category. Never force someone to eat something they don't want to or may dislike.

Answer 7

You shouldn't MAKE her do anything. You can offer other veggies and ask her to try them. There are some great veggie options to foods now. Birdseye now has broccoli and cauliflower tots. They even have a broccoli and cheese variety. They also make veggie pasta. It is made from a bean paste. You can also make or buy things like zucchini bread. There are many options to "sneak" veggies into her diet.
