Why would I do that? I don't want my kids to go hungry.

Because you don't want to them to be brought up as fussy eaters, they need to understand that they are not in a restaurant where they can choose from a menu and you have better things to do than cook separate meals for each child.

They won't be hungry for long. They will soon learn to eat what they are given.

I don't have better things to do than care for my children.
 
@winjim i can emphasise with you, one of my children is a bit fussy.

If he doesn’t like the food he isn’t eating it. We’ve tried the like it or go hungry approach and he’ll take the go hungry approach. We’ve tried the your not leaving the table approach too and still been sat there 2hours later.

It’s just easier all round to make something they all like as the arguments, strops etc are not worth the hassle.

As a grown adult I'm not going to eat food I don't like, so I don't see why we should demand it of our children.

Plus of course as with your kid, anyone advocating a different approach doesn't know my circumstances, hasn't met my kids and would likely not last a week with them before being driven to absolute despair.

Anyway, preparing separate meals isn't all that difficult, we do have an air fryer after all.

Hate to see the state his toaster is in
you can;t really clean them as easily as an oven or an air fryer

He's using those toaster bag things
