<span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">Hey Guys<br><br><br><br>
Was wondering if you could hep me out with this dilemma.<br><br><br><br>
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.<br><br><br><br>
However now Im on a lacto-ovo diet I have to end up cooking two meals, veggie for me and meat based for him.<br><br><br><br>
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.<br><br><br><br>
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.<br><br><br><br>
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!<br><br><br><br>
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.<br><br><br><br>
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!!<br><br><br><br>
ARRRRGh!! any advice for breaking him into the fruit and vegetable world gently??<br><br><br><br>
I've even thought about giving him a blindfold taste test!! Just to get him to try something!!<br><br><br><br>
Anyhoos any advice much appreciated<br><br><br><br>
