[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone so offended by the appearance of buttered noodles at their dinner table has an ego problem.

Ellen Satter doesn’t work for everyone. My picky DD ended up on an all carb diet. Or she would just starve until crappy snacks were offered somewhere and then she’d go wild. In my house, you don’t get to choose to eat unbalanced meals all the time.

[b]I was super picky as a child and I remember the absolute disgust I felt at most foods. I truly hated most food until I was a teen and started doing sports for several hours a day and worked up a huge appetite. Even then I was still picky but actually wanted to eat meals.  I gradually tried more and more foods in my 20s and eat pretty much everything now. Picky kids aren’t necessarily picky adults.[/b] [/quote]

Thank you for giving me hope! My spouse is dead set against turning meals into a battle, and prizes that peace and harmony above all other things, so we don’t push non-preferred foods. But I worry. Kid is 10 and has slowly, on his own, started to try new things… but just a few of them.[/quote]
