[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do very little processed/packaged food and my 4 year old is still picky. Don’t beat yourself up if you get a picky eater. Sometimes they’re just picky. [/quote]

Same! We avoided all of that stuff and my kid is still picky in different ways— and we even accidentally made her snobby about some foods!

So while I think this is not a bad plan, it won’t prevent your kid from being a weird eater. Some kids are just like that. [/quote]

Ha, I so relate to having the picky kid who is also super snobby about some foods due in large part to our efforts to serve her healthy foods. She wound up picky anyway, but also avoids most processed foods because we never fed her those as a baby/toddler and she genuinely prefers whole foods. What this means is that we have a healthy eater who eats an incredibly narrow range of foods (she's vegetarian but hates 99% of all vegetables, so her diet is heavy on nuts, dairy, whole grains, fruit, and then the two vegetables she'll eat). Healthwise it's fine, and it's not even that hard to accommodate at home, but it means it's really hard to go out to eat with her. She won't even eat pizza! But also won't eat a salad at the pizza place. Sigh.[/quote]
