Please enlighten me on this topic, it amazes me that many parents ask their 1+ year olds what they want to eat, listing 3-5 choices.

This happened on XMas <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">eve</a> dinner, which made the toddler more confused and ate the thing she said no to anyway. And it really is annoying to me sitting with a bunch of adults and waiting until the child has made a decision, which isn't sure if that's what they want to eat.

I'm the parent that prefers to give her child a plate with food and no ifs or buts.
