Some parents might try ketchup. But the NYT could ๐ฃ๐๐ซ๐๐ง recommend doing something so prosaic and gauche.

Imagine a world where parents knew what foods their kids were particular about and instead of forcing them to eat things they didn't like, worked with them and found out new and interesting things to try!
But alas, children are property and cannot be given any agency whatsoever
I'm guessing you don't have kids?
If I let my kids ate what they liked their palates would never have grown and they would still only want mac and cheese. Both from a "eating well rounded/healthy" perspective, also from a "growing your palate so you'll enjoy all sorts of foods" perspective (not to mention a "dad isn't going to cook 4 separate meals for dinner so we are all eating the same thing once you aren't a toddler" perspective) I firmly disagree with your sentiment.
Upside is my kids (now middle school and high school) generally eat all sorts of stuff. Sorry not sorry.
Edit - now that i properly read your post I retract some of my attitude. I agree about the "try new things and don't force them to eat things they hate" bit. I don't think you are suggesting just let them eat the minimal things they like. So sorry for being a dick.
Yeah I know people in their 20s that will only eat white rice and pizza because their parents took the route of just giving in all the time. They look sickly and constantly have health issues. I'm sure the two are related.
