[quote=Anonymous]I am angry (not irrationally IMO) that people refuse to become educated about others who have severe aversions to certain types of foods, and that aversion has NOTHING to do with choice.

Instead, the belligerent bigots yammer on about "picky eaters" without learning facts, like many of the PPs.

Do PPs also criticize those who have other sense differences (like sight, sound, smell) the same way? I can't imagine badgering and being annoyed by a person with a sight difference, "What do you mean you can't see that bird in the sky? It's so obvious!" or sound, "Why can't you hear that babbling brook, I can?!!"

People who have taste differences do NOT taste the same way others may. In some, the extreme bitter taste from some vegetables is enough to set off a gag reflex.

That is not a choice. And it is not a reflection on your cooking skills or meal choices. So stop trying to shame someone who won't eat that broccoli you heaped on their plate.
