Maybe that's the trick to getting him to eat my baked goods: send him on lots of long rides!

I bet it would be great with the salad you mentioned. <BR/><BR/>The Suitor is, unfortunately, the pickiest (adult) eater I've ever known. He will not eat beans, and doesn't care for soup. The only vegetable I can get him to eat consistently is string beans. It's a little ridiculous.

I think he's cherry-picking the science behind it, choosing what he wants to believe because he thinks it works for him. It's partly a weight thing, and partly because he has a family history of (and apparent predisposition to) type-2 diabetes.

I think the science behind it is bunk, he thinks the science against it is bunk. Anyway, combine this with the fact that the most effort he's willing to put into obtaining food is cracking a few eggs and heating up a pan, and rarely even thatAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338782102030629262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12904310.post-51609038922422198272008-03-14T07:10:00.000-07:002008-03-14T07:10:00.000-07:00Of the many things to respond to, I will start wit...Of the many things to respond to, I will start with cornish hens.
