Really? I disagree. Many picky eaters are born this way. My parents exposed me to plenty of different types of food over and over again. I could not stand the taste and texture of many types of food when I was kid. I am very sensitive to both and to smells. Now that I am older I am able to eat much more than I used to and enjoy plenty more foods than I did when I was a kid, however there are still things that absolutely smell/taste disgusting to me - mustard, mayo and textures that make me gag, such as mushrooms, sushi, peas, mushy bananas etc. I have tried to eat these things many many times and I'm sorry, but it does NOT change. I will not force myself to eat something that makes me want to puke.

My parents weren't lazy. My older sister will eat anything. She was served the same exact food as me. She just happened to like and tolerate more foods than I did.
Some people have different taste buds and sensitivities than others. My son will eat anything - good for him, we are lucky. But it has nothing to do with me being lazy or not. He was born that way.[/quote]
