Give them the Whole Vegetable

Eventually, every child comes to know the truth of the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus. Hidden food in a child's meal only serves to show the child how he can in fact eat peas and like them, somehow. The revelation should come after the meal has been well-digested to avoid the spitting out antic that can be so messy. For example, after dessert say "Little Charlie, guess what? Tonight you ate Peas!" Rather than anytime earlier, since Charlie will be unlikely to spit out dessert. He may be less likely to trust what is put before him in the future, but he couldn't tell before, and he'll soon forget. And you have told the truth. So all is well. In all seriousness, a child will realize the thing he has eaten has done him no harm, and may try the whole vegetable in the future.
