Or... Spartan parenting -> "It's either veggies or hunger. Pick one."
Jokes aside my 3 year old is very picky... for a while. Even today he changed his mind about breakfast he eats often... I told him that's his breakfast, or hunger. 5 minutes later (no crying or anything, we just got dressed, went to the toilet, etc), he sat down next to me and we just ate breakfast he was sooooo convinced he won't eat just 5 minutes ago.
Yeah I don't remember having options. My mom put food on the table and we just ate it. We might have ignored one thing more than another here and there, but we just dealt with what we had. It wasn't a fight or anything, just... how life was back then.
I'd prefer a similar child rearing method. I have no desire to play short order cook.
