[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. SIL grew up working class.  Mom was waitress dad was factory worker.  Her parents cooked but it was the typical working class fare of corned beef, chuck, eggs from their backyard chickens, lots of potatoes, stews, whatever produce they had grown in their garden, turnip, cabbage, white bread. Her parents were born in the 40s and inherited the thrifty post depression gene.  Junk food was considered very expensive.  Her parents who are elderly now are beside themselves and constantly worry about SIL health. Her elderly parents have fewer health issues than SIL.  SIL was always picky as a child and would only eat potatoes or pasta with sauce mom had made.  She wouldn't or couldn't eat any type of other sauce, even prego.  SIL became a teenager and got more exposure to junk food.  By the time she was at uni she was only subsisting on junk food.  SIL grew up in a living home but they didn't have the type of resources for therapy. And frankly that type of thing was perhaps not recognized in rural rust belt America of the 1970s.

Yet somehow your BIL thinks you will be able to undo an entire lifetime of restrictive eating issues?? Make it make sense. [/quote]
