Kids like veggie choices, but may not eat them

Really?
"Offering young kids a vegetable choice at dinner may not prompt them to eat more of these healthy foods, hint findings from a Dutch study."
Don't offer a "choice."

Put them on the plate.

Do not supplement with other Calories.

Done.

Otherwise:
"Overall, the children 'enjoyed the act of choosing,' de Graaf and colleagues note in their report.

In post-meal surveys, 75 percent of the kids given a pre-meal choice said they were happy with this level of autonomy, whereas 62 to 63 percent of the other kids expressed happiness over their choice offering."
...So what?
