So too when children are given a choice. But this App isn't about "cleaning your plate." It involves an entire process that includes learning about food groups, learning to make choices and accepting the consequences of those choices and about being responsible. I've already found that children who are allowed to be part of the planning, are more eager to make that plan work, whether it's lunch or anything else. And you're right about one thing, for $1.99 why wouldn't a parent consider this? I’ve always found that garnishing food makes it more appealing and more likely to be eaten.
