My husband told me today about our 3-year-old who wanted to read a bedtime story to our 19-month old. So she read her a food board book. When she got to the page with pizza and the page with cornflakes she had to ask "Daddy, what's that?"

It's low carb all the time with us.

My nine year old asked me today "What's a sausage roll?" She'd never even seen one, never mind ate one.

Mostly salad and meat (her favorite is raw hamburger, funnily enough). She eats vegetables, potato chips and tortilla chips occasionally for special occasion snacks, chicken soup, eggs and bacon, she loves raw eggs and will steal them from the fridge, coconut milk, macadamia nuts, chicken. We only eat fruit in season from our farmer's market except for lemons and avocados, so that is pretty limiting in terms of sweet fruit.
It's definitely easier to build up their tastes now than later, I think.

She's always been a super crazy eater. The raw eggs make me think sometimes she is missing some kind of nutrient. When she was a baby if we made roast beef she would smell it and cry hysterically until we gave her some. She's just always been a huge carnivore.

Except they don't like the on onions in real steak tartare. But we will order it for them at a restaurant and they eat it.

Eggs from free range chickens have a significantly lower instance of salmonella. It is when chickens bear eggs in unsanitary, crowded, factory conditions that we see a lot of the problems that arise with raw eggs.

We're really lucky in that we grow our own backyard chickens - she only gets eggs from our own chickens who are really healthy and kept well.
