[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP are you an albino 7 year old? Because your taste range is so limited that you sound like a child--or a person with an actual mental health issue or a person from the middle of nowhere who lacks any sort of imagination.[/quote]

Some people are just like this, PP.   It's just the way they are built.   They aren't TRYING to have difficulty with textures and flavors.   I'm sure if they had a choice, they would choose to be more like everyone else, and eat foods that everyone else eats.   They really aren't being poverly sensitive, just to piss you off.

It's usually a texture thing.   The difference between a smooth texture and a solid texture say, is really off putting.   It makes them lose their appetite or want to throw up.   So things like gravy and sauce aren't appetizeing at all.      Imagine being really hungry, and going to a meal that is supposed to be delicious food, and instead it is something really, really unappetizing.   And this happens All. The. Time.

Don't you think if people had a choice, they would choose to love to eat food like everyone else does?   Why do you think they are doing it, just to be immature?   Would you also say that about people who have asthma?   (Why can't you just run like everyone else?)   Or migranes (you are so immature -- you are just doing this to get attention).   Or about people who were born gay?   (Why can't you just be hetero like everyone else?)

Have some compassion, for Christ's sake.

(I'm not a picky eater.   But my adult brother is, and my son is.   It happens, and isn't due to being raised poorly.   Some people just are more sensitive than others, to texture and taste and smell).[/quote]

Being a picky eater due to texture, etc is NOT a medical condition like asthma. It is a neurosis. It is along the spectrum of anorexia. Your brother has an untreated eating disorder--and apparently you're allowing your son be neurotic too. There are therapists that could reverse this--but it is a persistent neurosis, particularly if you pretend it's just 'a family trait' and indulge it.[/quote]
