Suppose some animal, or child, or any other character doesn't want to eat what they're being fed; how will you get that food in them, without resorting to Force Feeding? Why, you feed by example, of course! Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This is often done to imply that the character in question either didn't trust the food, or in the case of the Picky Eater, just might not expect it to taste good, wherein seeing someone else eat the same thing was enough to change their mind. Of course, part of the problem with this is that just because some food is good for one creature doesn't mean it will be good for another; among those who take this into account even this approach might not be enough to convince them. Another variation on this trope would be "so good, the taster eats everything." This is used more in commercials, where a parent might eat the whole jar of baby food instead of serving the child as they started. |

And in a Hi and Lois strip, Lois demonstrates how to eat with a spoon when the baby tries to put the food in her ear. Then the baby demonstrates she has learned - by putting the spoon in Lois' mouth! | |

In one Lamb Chop's Play-Along sketch, Shari does this to encourage Baby Lamb Chop to eat her vegetables. Lamb Chop keeps saying "Show me more!" until Shari unwittingly eats all the veggies, then claims that since Shari said she could have dessert when the plate of veggies was empty, she can have dessert now. Shari tries to turn the tables by saying that since she ate the veggies, she gets the ice cream, but when she lets Lamb Chop have one lick, Lamb Chop uses that one lick to slurp up the whole scoop. | |

The Simpsons: Homer ends up doing the "taster eats it all" variant with Maggie's food. When he finishes it off, the camera reveals about a dozen other empty jars he'd already eaten offscreen. Similar example came from Bart trying to get a cow to eat grass. He eventually started hogging all the grass. |

In an early episode of Full House, Jessie and Joey have a difficult time feeding Michelle, with Joey at one point shoving the spoon in Jessie's mouth. Jessie grimaces as the baby food tastes terrible, but Joey tells him to smile as he swallows it as Michelle was watching. | |

An animal variation happened in one episode of Doug. Doug was watching Roger's cat, Stinky, and at one point tried to feed the cat the diet cat food Roger gave him, but Stinky didn't like it. Doug tried to show Stinky it was good by taking a bit himself, but ended up turning green and racing to the bathroom. | |
