Let's face it, a lot of kids are pretty fussy when it comes to eating their fruit and veg.
Mums are often forced to blend them up in sauces and hide them under more child-friendly beige foods.
And Chrissy Teigen is no exception, having recently shared in an interview that her five-year-old son has "never eaten a vegetable" – by choice, anyway.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where she was discussing her new show, Chrissy & Dave Dine Out, the model, who is married to John Legend, said her son Miles is vehemently against all vegetables.
"Luna is the best eater. Luna is amazing. She eats salads, vegetables. Miles has still not had a vegetable...He accidentally ate a broccoli floret in a fried rice and was so upset about it," she said.
She went on to say that it was "a struggle" to get her kids to eat all the correct foods, even doing a Zoom call "where they talk about picky eaters".
During the interview, Jimmy Kimmel also noted that his nine-year-old daughter was a picky eater, and the former Lip Sync Battle host bonded with him over how hard it was.

“They say that it’s the only thing they really have control over at that age, so he uses it,” she added.
To which the chat show host replied that whilst kids technically have no control, "they seem to have control over every aspect, every minute of our lives."
Chrissy and All Of Me singer John are parents to Miles and Luna, alongside one-year-old Esti Maxine, and seven-month-old Wren Alexander.
The pair welcomed Wren last year via surrogate, just five months after little Esti Maxine was born.

The pair have often shared their parenting journey with the world, including the ups and downs of their IVF journey and their heartbreaking miscarriage.
So, it's no wonder Chrissy decided to get candid about her children's eating habits, too.
Good for her, we bet so many other parents will relate!
