Comments on: The Food Police http://whittereronautism.com/2008/04/the-food-police/ Coffee breaks in Cyberspace For when you want something short and sweet, but light on saccharin [translation = Aspartame] Sat, 19 May 2012 14:56:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jill http://whittereronautism.com/2008/04/the-food-police/comment-page-1/#comment-12651 Jill Tue, 08 Apr 2008 21:40:58 +0000 http://whittereronautism.com/2008/04/the-food-police/#comment-12651 Doesn't the desensitization procedure encourage children to be finicky eaters? If eating a new food item is a hazardous enterprise, to be embarked upon in timid, flinching baby steps of course they'll be grossed out. If I put a benign edible, say, a crouton, on a plate and go through the fol-de-rol of looking, describing, touching, sniffing and licking then pretty soon that little crouton is going to seem monstrous. Anything would seem revolting under those conditions. Doesn’t the desensitization procedure encourage children to be finicky eaters?

I suppose ifyou got the all beef variety or something it wouldn't be too bad but...I am curious about why the OT suggested this particular "meat" first.

That was good stuff. A wet weiner! Punkin LOVES hot dogs. He asks for them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He'll eat two or three at one meal. But will he eat chicken? No. Is the OT recommending it because of the high protein and calorie content? Oh, my. That was good stuff. A wet weiner! Punkin LOVES hot dogs. He asks for them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

They are actually almost edible. Andy loves them. I think most hot dogs have too much garlic, and are... well, ground babyfood shaped into a long, thin stick. Bad babyfood. Schwan's are slightly better, with almost no garlic. Schwan’s makes good hot dogs. They are actually almost edible. Andy loves them.

Too funny, and beautifully written! Of course, not so funny for you when you're trying to get him to eat something . . . My children consider hotdogs to be a delicacy because I refuse to let them have them, except on Very Special Occasions like school sports day. I have to side with your son on this one - they are poison! The food fight of the week here was my son refusing to eat the mashed potatoes in his lunch at daycare: "But they don't have garlic in them! I WON'T eat mashed potatoes without garlic!" ROFL! Too funny, and beautifully written! Of course, not so funny for you when you’re trying to get him to eat something . . .
