Crusty

Crustless bread has been invented for picky children.

The experts found that a third of parents cut the crusts off the bread for their children

This reminds me of an incident at boot camp, lo some *mumble*mumble* years agone. One of the D.I.'s saw a recruit peeling the crusts off his white bread in the mess hall. For two weeks thereafter, everyone in the platoon had to peel the crusts off their bread slices and give them to the picky recruit. The crusts, that is; it was all he was allowed to eat for two weeks.

I guarantee you that recruit--and later Marine, since he stuck with it and graduated--was never picky about his food again.

I firmly believe in the way my parents taught me: you can get up from the table when you finish your dinner--or you can sit there until both you and the food rot. But you will eat what's provided to you.

Keep peeling the crusts off your kids' bread, and watch them turn into spoiled, fat, whiny couch-potatoes who won't move out of your house. Ever.
