Question. I see lots of people posting about shredding of finely chopping veggies/greens so their iggys can't be finicky. I've tried that, to an extend, but Carlos will not touch it. If I tear up his greens in small pieces (1/2 size of his head or a bit smaller) and chop his veggies fairly small, he'll eat all of them.

I'd like to get him to eat the shredded/chopped salad cuz i know he'll get more of what he needs, but at the same time, I don't want him to go a few days without eating because i'm putting down stuff he doesn't like.

Suggestions?

OH.. usual menu includes:
dandelion greens, collards, mustard & turnip greens, arugula, watercress, butternut squash, yellow squash, zuchini, and green beans (maybe 2 chopped)

Also, he will NOT eat fruit. I've tried apples, mango, grapes and even banana. He won't touch it. I've seen him eat one or two small pieces of mango, but that's it. Weird or normal?
