The Agonizing Dinners

My little brother sucks at eating.

I mean, he just loves to eat those special little treats looks JUST so delicious but doesn't like the normal food. I think the normal dinner that we have is perfectly fine, perfectly yummy... yet he takes more than 50 minutes to eat a meal that barely weights 8 ounces.


One thing that sorts of bugs me is his reluctance to eat new stuff. He constantly just "hates" new, exotic food without even trying it. I mean, most of these food are pretty expensive compared to just plain rice and what about those poorer children? Maybe this is a bit too philosophical...

We have tried somethings to make him eat better. He seems to enjoy a new Pokemon/Yugioh rip-off called Bakugan. I think it's pretty lame, some thing like Medabots except marketable to kids by using trading cards. The smart thing they did is that they use a Transformer like action figure that rolls up into a ball, meaning more money for those Japanese corporate vampires that suck hard working moms dry... take a look:



Now today I tried something a little different. I flaunted right in front of him the idea of me playing the Wii without him, by myself. That seemed to trigger something within him and he bursted out crying within seconds.

Maybe eating food is just not his strong point.
