Getting kids to eat vegetables is an enormous task, and it can test the limits of a parent's patience on a daily basis. While vegetable consumption is one of the best things you can impress upon a child for good health, all kids know is that they want good-tasting food. Most vegetables have a perception of tasting bland as we all know.

So, when Jessica Seinfeld published a book recently that suggested dressing up those veggies in sugary treats and other types of junk foods, the reaction was mixed.

Yes, that approach does get kids to eat veggies, but at the same time it's giving the psychological impression that those sugary foods are okay to eat. This is not good, and a dietician is taking issue with Seinfeld's book because of this.

What do you think? If you could get your child to eat vegetables by hiding them in cupcakes and other 'foods,' would you do that? Why or why not?
