My new boys, ages 7 and 9, swear that they will only really eat tacos and pizza. Thier family agrees. One ate 8 tacos at one sitting because he refused to put anything but meat and cheese on it. We cannot do this, because right now we are feeding 7 people without the subsidy.

According to them, they do not eat produce, rice, potatos, stuffing, or macaroni and cheese, or casseroles. Which is what my family usually eats for dinner. The problem is not only that I feel they are unreasonably picky, they have told me they didn't like things, only to eat them without complaint when I have said "this is what we're having."

In my house, we give our boys something and say "this is what is for dinner. You're not getting anything else. If you don't want to eat it now, that's fine, but that's all you're getting tonight." But can I say this to the fosters? We're not against making alternate things, however, these kids do not like anything, nor have they ever been made to eat healthy meals.
