My son sat at the dinner table for 2 1/2 hours refusing to eat green beans – I got called away to work and found out later that he was allowed down and gave his beans to the dog (who gobbled them up)… Very stubborn – we still laugh about it 45 years later…
I sat at the table until 9:00- bed time. I HATED green beans. Mom was a good mom b/c she didn’t give in. I’ll eat them now but they really need to be dressed up to taste decent.
Very bad idea. There may be a good reason beyond flavor that keeps someone from eating a particular food. It may literally make them feel sick. I now know that I hated scrambled eggs because of the way my mother cooked them. Dad made me sit there until I ate them or Mom gave up. 70 years later my stomach still twists a little when I start to eat an egg.

Michael could end up sitting there and missing his favorite tv shows.

He’ll still have to do homework.

What we didn’t eat we might get for breakfast, hunger trumps cold vegetables.
