[quote=Anonymous]This article from the Post today is really interesting: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/11/04/the-stark-difference-between-what-poor-babies-and-rich-babies-eat/ Be careful what you feed your babies when they are young because it may dictate their preferences later in life. IMO some kids are picky because of texture or other physiological issues, but those are rare. ALmost all issues of picky eaters are cultural. I have two kids and one is somewhat picky. I take responsibility for that. For a while when he was younger we didn't handle it well and indulged him. That said, he does eat plenty of food that is not on the typical "kid friendly" list - because it's been given to him repeatedly since he was tiny- that's why he loves tofu, broccoli and spicy food. People whose kids will only eat mac and cheese, chicken nuggets and the like have only themselves to blame.[/quote]
