[quote=Anonymous]Former picky eater here now 37. Didn't eat a salad until my 20s. My dad is a physician and never cared if I didn't eat. His motto was no kid with food on their plate went hungry, unless they actively chose to do so. As I type this i realize it's probably little consolation. You cannot win. Even in teen years it was a major familial power struggle. I remember having the willpower to sit at the dinner table until 9pm and still not eat my food. My parents gave up -- I won. Wasn't til i moved out of house, met DH, and started being brave enough to try things that i became an adventurous eater. I should also note that even during this time I loved my parents dearly and talked to them about all sorts of things kids usually hide from their parents -- sex, alcohol, etc. Very healthy relationship overall, i was just an annoyingly picky eater.[/quote]
