[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp here and Also I don’t have picky eaters, much the opposite but I know it is incredibly hard and part of it is genetic so everyone being so high and mighty about it should choose to be kinder. And just because the sister gets fast food on a holiday when she is coming to and from somewhere as a solution for a busy high stress day doesn’t mean she does that regularly. She’s trying to find a solution that doesn’t impact her extended family which is what people usually recommend people with picky eaters do. A day like that is not the day to pick your picky eating battles.[/quote]

Part of it is genetic???  Are you kidding me?

That is only true if the parents are nut case picky eaters themselves, and pass on bad habits. It is not physiologically "genetic."  Please.[/quote]

Im just sharing the recent research. Picky eating can certainly be exacerbated by environmental conditions, like anything it’s usually a combination of nature and nurture. But research does really support that among many components, genetics is a piece. Here are some sources from people that actually study and have knowledge on this stuff. Again I don’t have anything to gain here, my kids eat just about anything. I’m just sharing the information.

Here is one a little easier to digest:

Just like anything genes often matter to predispose us and then home matters in how that is expressed. It’s complicated and just blaming parents doesn’t help anything.
