“There’s no convincing kids to eat what they don’t want to eat. We give her options. She loves grilled cheese sandwiches like everyone else. She likes pasta. I don’t want to raise an annoying foodie kid; that’s like child abuse. But this little girl has traveled a lot in her three years. She’s spent a lot of time in Italy. What she sees mommy and daddy eating is an interesting array of food, so she’s likely to shove it in her mouth and say “Yum yum, olives or wild boar risotto.” She tried tripe goulash only because she saw mom and dad eating it and reached out and grabbed it. It’s more what I’m keeping off the table than putting on the table. She’s not going to be eating chicken nuggets. I’ll say eating them makes you weird in the schoolyard. Call it psychological warfare against a 3-year-old — it’s reverse psychology. It’s cruel but doable.”

Note to self: parent like Bourdain in regards to eating! I’ve bolded the part I LOVE about his statement.
