I found this article on <\/font>What Toddlers Eat Around the World<\/font><\/a>. \u00a0Reading the article completely solidified, to me at least, Kailan\u2019s predilection towards eating vast quantities of ketchup.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is the excerpt on Sweden:<\/font><\/p>\n

Sweden<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The Swedes, oddly enough, are number one in the world’s consumption of ketchup<\/em><\/strong><\/font> (the United States and Canada tie for third, after Australia), and children are certainly a big reason the demand for ketchup is so high. What do kids put ketchup on? “Literally anything, but especially anything that looks suspiciously nutritious,” one Swedish parent says. A popular option is macaroni-and-substitute- the-cheese-with-ketchup-please.<\/font><\/p>\n

Other Favorites:<\/strong> Falukorv (Swedish sausage), meat stews, fried fish or fish fingers, mackerel, meatballs, porridge, pancakes, and bagels.<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

Sweet Tooth Satisfiers:<\/strong> The Swedes love their ice cream — in fact, they rank in the top 10 countries in consumption of this summertime favorite. But they’re also careful not to let toddlers overdo it. Instead, fruit, fruit juices, and fruit sauce are typical substitutes, as well as sponge cake and rice pudding with fruit sauce.<\/font> <\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eureka<\/strong>! <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0We may have found the source of where Kailan developed his eating habits.\u00a0 His Great-grandma Kraft came over from Sweden<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 He also seems to take after that side of the family for looks, too.\u00a0 <\/strong>His Swedishness is just oozing out of him.<\/font><\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

Kailan\u2019s main food groups:<\/em>\u00a0 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
