A character is told by someone (usually Mommy or Daddy) to eat all their vegetables or the penalty is that they won't get dessert. Despite occasionally overlapping with Denied Food as Punishment, this isn't meant to be a form of discipline, it's actually more of a rewarding system. Peas and broccoli are the most common vegetables assigned for eating. Oftentimes, this trope applies to children (who have a lot of taste buds that make them dislike vegetables) but can be Played for Laughs with adults as well. Common reactions include protesting, throwing a tantrum, trying to hide the vegetables, or even, begrudgingly, trying to eat them and giving up in the process. For other ways to bribe children, see The Compliance Game and Moniker As Enticement. A sister subtrope of Kids Hate Vegetables is Trojan Veggies. | |

In one Lamb Chop's Play-Along sketch, Shari tells Baby Lamb Chop that she can't have dessert until her plate of veggies is empty. She then resorts to Feeding By Example, but Lamb Chop keeps saying "Show me more!" until Shari unwittingly eats all the veggies, and then she claims that since the plate is 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. | |

In an early episode of CSI: NY, the only witness to a crime is a young boy who refuses to speak for quite a while. Detective Taylor takes him under his wing. The boy keeps pointing to candy bars in the crime lab's vending machine, but Taylor tells him he can't have any junk food until after he gets him "some real stuff." Subsequently, they're shown having a well-balanced meal together and Taylor cuts the boy's meat up for him. | |

In the The Fairly OddParents! episode "Just Desserts", Timmy destroys all the vegetables his parents gave him while they aren't looking thinking that he'll get dessert next. His parents just give him carrots for dessert, but they try to manipulate him into eating it by telling him that it's carrot cake without the cake. Timmy goes to AJ's and Mark's house, respectively, where AJ's family proceed to solve math equations as their dessert, while Mark's "dessert" is a vegetable sundae. | |

Mario then decides to taunt Jeffy by eating chocolate cake in front of him, but Jeffy retaliates by tricking him into going outside and locking him out of his house. |

In The Amanda Show, Amanda and her friend who's invited over for dinner are both told by Amanda's parents to eat all their vegetables or no dessert. Therefore, they buy Sugar Veggies (pure sugar that looks just like broccoli but still tastes like sugar) to replace the real broccoli (which they hid from their parents by distracting them with the lie that there's chipmunks). | |

In the Dexter's Laboratory episode "Hunger Strikes", Dexter refuses to eat his peas and so is refused his dessert of upside-down pineapple cake while Dee-Dee and Dad are allowed to have the ridiculously unhealthy and large portions of it that dwarfs the size of the small peas they ate (defeating the purpose of eating those peas). Dexter, who can't stand vegetables, uses gamma radiation to rearrange his taste buds and adjust his food preferences, but it works a little too well and he starts to have uncontrollable cravings for vegetables that cause him to Hulk Out if he goes too long without consuming any. | |
