Do kids that young eat celery?!?

Hi all, when the farmhand first arrives and has his first lunch together with the family, the little boy has a plateful of carrots and celery. Isn't celery too difficult for a ~2 year old to chew, though? ...With all those fibers/strings in it? Also, wouldn't completely plain celery be too bland? There wasn't any peanut butter or dip on it. If that's all I had to eat, I'd starve. No wonder we only actually saw him eating the carrots!!!

My 2 1/2 year old loves celery- she has since she was 1. She chews it up and then throws away the fibers.

Oh, no way! Thank you for your reply, because I was really baffled! I don't have any children and my nieces/nephew are on the other coast. :-)

If he has teeth, he can eat celery.

Some people 'devein' their celery sticks.

Why do people so frequently get told to read the book on a movie database?
