Hey Guys
Was wondering if you could hep me out with this dilemma.
It wasnt so much of a problem before i turned veggie that my OH will not eat any fruit or veg. When I cooked dinner (usually a meat and carbo affair) Id just add a portion or two of veg for myself and that would be fine.
However now Im on a lacto-ovo diet I have to end up cooking two meals, veggie for me and meat based for him.
Basically his diet consists of, bread, breakfast cereal, potatoes, meat, orange juice, rice, pasta, pre-made sauces for curry and pasta (he wont touch home made!) crisps, chocolate, fish (very rarely), butter/margarine and cow's milk.
It worries me that he will be severely lacking in a lot of essential vits and mins and i've tried the 'you should take a supplement' route but he doesn't do it, even when I bought the supplement for him.
Agreed he'll eat pasta and sauce without meat in it but that really is it. As much as i love it I can't live on pasta and sauce for the rest of my life!
I've tried cutting veg very fine and liquidising sauces with veg in them, but he just wont eat it or picks out the veg.
As for fruit he has never eaten a piece of fruit, he's had a smoothie once and refused to try it again. He drinks litres of orange juice but won't drink other fruit juices!!
ARRRRGh!! any advice for breaking him into the fruit and vegetable world gently??
I've even thought about giving him a blindfold taste test!! Just to get him to try something!!
Anyhoos any advice much appreciated
