有个人看到这篇文章的标题，就开始抖：“你肯定在说我吧？”
没有“吧”，就是你，算你有自知之明。不过家里的挑食大王哪止一个啊：青菜务必要炒腐皮；炖鱼只吃鱼眼睛；面条只吃手工做的......
我是什么都吃星人，碰上一家子的 picky eaters， 简直是操碎了心。好了，这个话头就不继续下去了，说多了都是泪啊~
今天主要讲讲怎么破这个局。照例，还是翻译的（是不是很没劲？哈哈）。
这是 Leo Babauta 写的，他家有八口人，八口人哪，可以想象的众口难调，难以想象的做饭难度！
他总结了七条在他家起效的经验，用来回复一个烦恼中的女士的来信：
1. We try to find things that the whole family likes that are healthy and tasty. That might mean veggie tacos, veggie spaghetti (with whole wheat noodles if we can get away with it), sushi bowls, anything they might all like.
我们尽量做全家人都爱吃的健康又美味的食物，也许是蔬菜玉米饼，也许是蔬菜意大利面（能用全麦面条就最好了），也许是寿司。只要是大家都可能喜欢的食物就行。
2. Other times, we cook something less healthy that they would like, and either join them or cook our own meals (which we might make to last for a few days).
有时我们也会做些孩子们喜欢但没那么健康的食物。然后我们会跟他们一起吃，或者再给自己做点别的（而且可能一次性做几天的量）。
3. We often make a lot of food for the family dinner and then have leftovers for lunch, and possibly another dinner or two (like a big pot of soup or chili). If your husband doesn’t like the same dinner twice in a row, he might be open to having it again in a few days.
我们经常把晚饭的饭菜做得超大份，然后剩下来的就可以当第二天的午餐，甚至再当一到两顿的晚餐（比如一大锅的汤或者咖喱）。如果你丈夫不喜欢连着吃两顿一模一样的晚饭，那么也许他会接受隔几天再吃。
4. We talk to the kids and try to get them to explore foods they don’t always like. This doesn’t always work, though. But it’s worth an ongoing conversation. You might try this with your husband as well. It helps to cook the vegetables in different ways that make them tastier, just to get them to open up to it. For example, if they don’t like kale, they might enjoy kale chips (baked with olive oil to a crisp, with seasonings).
我们经常和孩子们聊天并鼓励他们去尝试平常不太喜欢的食物。 虽然这一招不一定有效，但值得时不时聊一聊啊。你丈夫的挑食问题，也可以试试这招。可以试着用不同的烹饪方法来做蔬菜，让它们好吃一点儿，能让他们愿意试一试就行。比方说他们讨厌羽衣甘蓝，那么他们也许会喜欢羽衣甘蓝条（涂上橄榄油烤到松脆，蘸点酱）。
5. Sometimes we cook a dish that has something one of the kids doesn’t like(mushrooms, for example), but we cook the mushrooms on the side, and allow them to leave off the mushrooms. This can get complicated but sometimes it’s not too hard.
有时我们会在一道菜里加上孩子们不喜欢的一种食材，比如蘑菇。不过我们会把蘑菇放在盘子的一边，然后允许他们不吃。这种做法有时行不通，但有时又挺好。
6. If someone doesn’t like the dinner, they can just have a little of itand then make themselves a PB&J sandwich or grilled cheese or something. Our kids can cook simple things for themselves.
如果有人不喜欢某天的饭菜，那么他们可以少吃点，然后自己去做个三明治之类的东西。我家的娃们能自己做点简单的食物。
7. Finally, we get everyone involved in the meal planning. Everyone looks for meal ideas online. Vote on what to eat. Take one meal a week to cook themselves. If they cook it, they’re likely to eat it!
最后，发动全员参与做饭。所有人都上网去找灵感。投票选出想吃啥。每周自己做一顿饭。他们自己做的，往往就会好好吃！
外国人对于“健康食物”的认知让我一直挺困惑的，曾经有个外国朋友告诉我披萨是世界上最健康的食物之一。然后对于剩菜剩饭，他们似乎有一种偏爱，不知亚硝酸盐为何物。
不过 Leo Babauta 提到的羽衣甘蓝 kale 确实是公认的健康食物界佼佼者。不只名字很美，这几年还红得发紫，据说这种“负热量食物”越吃越瘦，是超模明星的最爱。但我咋看着贼像路边花坛的 whatsit （又像花又像菜，不知道叫啥）。
