Copperman has 20 years experience counseling families on healthy eating and has seen lots of children go through picky food stages - called "food jags" - when they are 4 to 6 years old. Food jags are when children might eat a particular food meal after meal - like peanut butter - and reject other foods, only to one day start eating a new food like turkey exclusively, repeating the behavior. These jags are natural part of development, she said, except most children grow out of this stage of development, while Stacey appears to be "stuck."

What can parents do to make their kids have a more healthful diet?

Start early. Eating patterns are engrained, so try not to give a toddler sweet or salty foods from the get-go, as was the case for Stacey. Otherwise, their taste buds become used to salt, Copperman said - so when you try to force a vegetable on them, they'll hate it. Some studies have shown it may take kids up to 10 times to accept a new food in their diet, so keep trying.

Except for the "Taste buds" getting "Used to salt and sugar" bit, it's so much common sense to most of us who've had kids. But the ones for whom "Eating Patterns" and "Table Behavior" are 'advanced concepts' are statistically much more likely to be parents, so CBS is simply playing a numbers game here. :coffee:

From the first article in the OP:
"She's been told in no uncertain terms that she will die if she carries on like this, but Stacey says she can't eat anything else," her mom, Evonne, told U.K.'s Daily Mail. "It breaks my heart to see her eating those damned nuggets. I am at my wit's end. I'm praying she can be helped before it's too late."
I think I'm beginning to see the source of the problem here.

'I'm not racist': Oklahoma nurse who called for lynching of Black man sues hospital after losing job
April 26, 2021

A nurse in Oklahoma is suing his former employer after he was fired over a Facebook post that called for the lynching of a Black man.

The Oklahoman reported that 41-year-old Kevin Murnan has filed a lawsuit against Norman Regional Hospital, where he worked for 19 years.

The hospital fired Murnan on Aug. 27 after he allegedly wrote a Facebook post about the shooting of a 5-year-old boy.

"Get a big tall tree and a short piece of rope!" the post said.

Murnan's attorney, Jack Tracy, told the paper that his client is not a racist.

"Kevin says, 'I am not racist. I'm not racist. You know, some of my best friends are Black,'" Tracy explained to The Oklahoman on Friday. "I think they did him wrong... They've got some very fine doctors there. And I think very highly of them. But this is a matter of principle."

"You just don't go around and fire people for things on Facebook. He didn't call him an 'n,'" he added.

But the hospital is asking Cleveland County District Judge Thad Balkman to dismiss the lawsuit.

"Set against the backdrop of the death of George Floyd and the nation's racial tensions boiling over in the summer of 2020, it is clear why the plaintiff's employment could not continue after that post drew scathing criticism from a member of the community who brought it to the attention of Defendant," attorneys for the hospital told the judge.

"Murnan's post was short and to the point, resorting to a tried and true symbol of racism in America — the lynching of African Americans," the attorneys added.

Murnan's lawsuit is seeking $1.2 million and asks the court to block the hospital from firing people who espouse ideas that are "inconsistent with their liberal agenda."
I actually found this report so absurd that I googled around a bit. Sure enough, there was no mention of Kevin Murnan by Fox News or any other right wing site. Only libtard-biased news sites had articles about the case, so its probably satire made up by someone practising to become a CNN video technician or trying to impress his Tinder date with.
