[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 684334, member: 6705"] That's the funny thing here. He knows what's in that freezer... Portioned out raw meat for our dinners, frozen vegetables, frozen soups. Extra butter and cheese. Flour and raw bacon. PLUS - Bill's and Rose's quick-and-easy breakfasts, ice cream, and sliced cheese, which is really what he is after. This child can (and has) gone through a 24-slice package of sliced cheese in 2 days. This is why it is kept in the freezer, under lock & key... and those breakfast sandwiches, the frozen waffles (homemade). We also keep our lunches in there, since we need quick food most days. In our refrigerator, right now, is a large chunk of leftover meatloaf, two XL slices of pizza, a huge bowl of mashed potatoes, 3 lbs of baby carrots, two cut-up celery stalks, string cheese, pre-packaged salad, oranges, apples, eggs, milk, some sliced cheese, lunch meats, some bars of cheese (these are muenster and swiss), and the normal assortment of condiments and sides like pickles. In the freezer side are extra loaves of wheat bread, popsicles, smoothies, frozen sandwiches, and some frozen veggies. Don't even get me started on all the goodies in the pantry, cereals and home-canned fruit, soups, snack crackers, raisins, popcorn, and on and on and on. However, what do all of the accessible things have in common? They either require work or are (ahem) healthy. Kid used to love apples and bananas, but no other fruit. Carrots and that sort of thing are not food to him but something we forced him to eat. Unless coerced, he won't TOUCH leftovers... Unless it's plain rice. The kid can go through an entire box of saltines in a day. Or an entire bag of tortilla chips. It is as if he wants to eat only the most unhealthy things he can find... That would be healthy when combined with other stuff. Because peanut butter is reasonable, but 128 oz in 10 days can't possibly be... [/QUOTE]
