I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

That seems to be a sensible approach. I love to cook, but my son is in that annoying phase where he would like to subsist on crackers, milk, the occasional bite of fruit and air.
I figure its my job to offer a selection of healthy foods, but I cannot force him to eat. Every couple of days, the kid will eat more than my husband and I combined, and a good variety, so I figure he'll be ok.
However, I do have a few friends with very small kids (i.e failure to thrive in spite of parental efforts) and I do understand why they feel the need to play Food Police on occasion.
it probably depends on the kid. some kids eat right naturally. my daughter (formula fed on a schedule) just naturally picks good choices MOST of the time. my son (breastfed on demand) has a ver narrow range of foods, most of them not the greatest, that he will eat. however knowing both their personalities I have to say that no matter what I had done they would be like this. I do not do food police with mydaughter. dont need to. dont want to give her a complex. with my son, yes I have gotten into "you cant have this if you dont eat that". I thought the let them eat what they want when they want thing was great until I had my son and had to implement some parental controls. its all about what works for you not some stupid philosophy.
so um, is this what all this obsession about breast milk is for? so you can feel you fulfilled so much of their nutritional needs as infants that you hope they fill up on junk so YOU dont have to learn to cook and all that nice titty milk will make up for that? NOT!!!!
