why dont most kids eat their crusts on their sandwiches or toast, etc. when i was younger i rememebr never eating the crusts, now my son doesnt eat them, and i have seen several kids do this. do your kids eat them or not?

My kids eat the crust. They know that it is part of the sandwich and if they want a snack later, than they have to eat it all. I make sure I cover the entire piece of bread with filling. For instance, if it is PB&J, than I make sure that it gets on the bread as well as the crust, that way when they eat the crust, it isnt just plain bread.

my dd also eats her crust all the time She has never know any diffrent. It is funny actually beacuse we we make her toast she will eat around it and eat all the crust first.

I have 3 children. 2 eat the crust without complaint and the other (picky) one never eats it. I don't get it.

mine eat it and don't know the difference, either. I have never served it to them without, does that make a difference?

My kids have always eaten the crusts...it's never been an issue. Now that I think of it...I can't think of a child in our family or group of friends that doesn't eat crusts.

Mine have all went in spurts of eating it or not. I do not eat it most times so that may have something to do with it. I have never liked it

not eating the crust was never an option i have never taken it off for them so quess what they just eat it... they would never think to take it off lol..

DD1 will eat her crusts, but DD2 won't. If I am making a sandwich for DD2 I will cut off the crusts before I put the sandwich together and I use the crusts to make my own croutons for salads and soups. I just cut them off of the bread, chop them in cubes and put them in a ziplock baggie. When the ziplock baggie is almost full I add a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil and some seasonings (Italian seasoning, or what ever) and shake the bag. Then, I lay the cubes on a baking sheet and bake them. They are a big hit in this house (and the funny thing is that DD2 love them! Isn't that odd?)
