Food Logic

My kids' food demands these days read like one of those logic puzzles from math class!
See if you can solve this one:

Tia cannot have dairy,
     but she must often have mac and cheese,
     and yogurt,
     and pizza.
     And she needs butter to eat noodles or bread.
Toussaint does not like my mac and cheese or pizza.
     He loves Grandma's,
     but not if it's served at my house, or by me.
     He loves Papa John's pizza when he eats it with Ben.
     He hates it if Ben is not present.
     When he does eat it,
     he must have the Papa John's garlic butter to dip his crust in.
     He does not, however, eat crust.
Tia likes tomatoes, but hates red sauce.
     Toussaint loves red sauce, but hates tomatoes.
Toussaint put himself on a no-sugar diet,
     but his main beverage is lemonade,
     and he won't go to bed without dessert.
Tia will not eat food with any spice whatsoever,
     nor will she eat food that is bland because it lacks spice.
Neither will eat dry meat,
     but moist meat is either "too fatty" or "not cooked enough."
The only vegetables either child will eat are carrots.
     The only fruits are apples, bananas, and grapes.
     They both love kale, but not to eat.
Finally, both complain
     that they are tired of eating the same things all the time
     and would like more variety!
