[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's picky eating when your diet is so limited that it effects their quality of life and that of people around them. If someone cannot sit down to a meal that was prepared for them or go to a restaurant and find enough food to their taste that they are able to eat, then that person is picky. It doesn't matter the age. If someone can't deal with finding a food "just ok" and eating it anyway, that person is picky. If you like bananas, but only a specific shade of yellow, then you are picky. Not liking one or two foods is a preference. Only liking one or two foods is being picky.[/quote]

This. I don't like a lot of things: mushrooms, shellfish, okra, olives. If someone puts it on my plate, i will try it to be polite but wont choose it. Doesnt prevent me from eating anywhere. People can be vegetarian, kosher, vegan etc without being picky because they can consume a wide variety within the general restriction. Picky eaters for me are this that eat one kind of chicken nugget and buttered pasta of one shape only etc and accept no substitute to their specific limited preference. My 3 year old is kind of picky, she wont eat meat not in meatball form but shell eat any shape pasta, yogurt, any fruit and maybe 3 types of vegetables. Its frustrating but enough that she can have a balanced meal most days. [/quote]
