[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When did this picky stuff become a thing? Was this a thing when you all were growing up? I don't remember it being a thing when I was growing up, we just ate what was there or went hungry and that was pretty much it. One of my grandmothers did the short order cook thing but she liked doing that for us kids and it made staying at her house fun. [/quote]

We didn’t have “one bite to be polite,” we had “sit there until your plate is clean.”  I sat at the table all night several times (pickles, carrots, turnip greens, dry meat), sleeping there, before going to school the next day.  My sister did the same on other occasions (Swiss chard, turnip/beet/other greens, fatty meat).  The two of us sat at the table together an entire weekend because we couldn’t choke down the oatmeal (we both tried, gagged, threw up and our mother didn’t budge).

We both have major issues with food.  Both of us also have had a hard time retracting our bodies what hunger and satiety feel like, because we ate on a schedule even when we weren’t hungry, and we had to finish before we could leave the table, even if we were full.

I’ll take kids’ pickiness now, thanks.[/quote]

My severely picky (adult) friend has done the exact same thing.  Sat an entire weekend at the table because he refused to eat a cream puff, served at grandma’s.  He still won’t eat one.  [/quote]
