[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they eat a certain way now, I think they'll continue that way through adulthood. I'm sure we've all met that person who can't or won't try something new, and there's no sensory issue/medical reason. People like what they like and it's all shaped from when they're really little. Nothing wrong with liking nuggets and mac and cheese. [/quote]

This is insane and so un true. The vast majority of adults in America today grew up eating, like, chicken nuggets and hot dogs. Foods like sushi, Thai food, Ethopian, etc. barely even existed in most of the US for our childhoods. And yet we all eat them now and something like sushi hardly even seems out of the ordinary anymore. The idea that toddler food preferences predict adult preferences is so beyond reality. Sure, I know a guy who won't eat vegetables but he is a crazy exception, not the norm! [/quote]
Good point.  The only “ethnic” food I had before my late teens was Americanized Chinese food. All my vegetables were canned or frozen except for iceberg salad. Now I eat a huge variety of foods[/quote]

Same here.  I take comfort in this a bit, because even though my 3yo has become more picky, he still probably eats a greater variety of foods than I did at his age.  And now I’ll eat pretty much anything except for pork chops and peas  :lol: (post-childhood trauma!).[/quote]
