[quote=Anonymous]There are picky kids, and then there are kids who will, in fact, starve themselves rather than eat the "wrong" foods. If you've never had a severely underweight kid, I don't think you can understand that anxiety -- it's primal. It can take years of therapy to deal with. You sound both super-judgmental and like you don't actually understand what's going on. We have friends who have two kids who are perfectly normal eaters and one who would only eat an extremely limited diet (basically, only white, bland foods, so he lived on potatoes and white bread and not much else). And they tried all kinds of things, but he would, in fact, starve rather than eat. He was under the care of a medical team and it took many years to (very gradually) expand his palate. I'm sure lots of people judged them, but they didn't know the facts. [/quote]
