Nito had been going through this horrible, very long phase where foods that most people enjoy disgusted him, even cake and sweets. This is when I dared ventured into the concept of unschooling diet. I worried that my former very strict attitude about food had done this to him. He no longer had the curiosity for food he once had. So I started letting him eat whatever he wanted, but I always make sure there are plenty of healthy options available. I talk to both of my kids about food and herbs but ultimately I try not to control their decisions. I certainly do not offer them sweets normally, but if they see or hear of something I let them try it.
After weeks of letting Nito try anything he wanted, even if he wasted it, Nito started choosing more healthy foods. On his sister's birthday, Nito was on Kim Morera's cannabis oil. He did choose to eat cake, and for us, that was huge, because just weeks ago he would have vomited at the sight of it. He later requested sunflower seeds with a button on his iPad and for the first time ever he actually said "sunflower seeds" repeatedly. We were out of them as Whole Foods put a temporary recall on his brand due to salmonella, but he accepted to eat oranges instead! Before, when Nito could not have what he wanted, he always threw a fit.
