There is literally nothing, not one FUCKING thing on this earth that I hate more than people who are picky eaters. I even hate the children, but I ESPECIALLY hate the adults.

If the fucking food in front of you is prepared properly and physically edible, you should be able to eat ALL OF IT, even if you "don't like the taste" it's such a disgustingly spoiled and entitled thing to reject edible food, the manifestation of an all encompassing narcissistic individualism brought about by our commodified hedonistic "culture"

I curse thee with picky offspring. for there is nothing more stubborn than a small child that does not want to eat something. any attempts to force them is child abuse.

There you are cursed.

you can not force a child to eat something they do not want. Are you going to beat them OP? Starve them? really? the child you are supposed to love and care for?

no OP you cannot out stubborn a picky eater they will starve to death and I hope you are the cause. Enjoy your jail time.

There are degrees of picky eating.

Some people have mental illness, legitimately, a form of OCD that makes them only eat certain things. Others in the mid ground are just stubborn, and these adults are ok to make fun of, but they shouldn't bother you as it effects you zero percent. On the other side of the spectrum, is intelligent people who simple KNOW some food wasn't meant to be eaten, like fucking barbaric crap like living octopuss, or bugs, or disgusting shit like oysters and mussels that smell like hot garbage and menstrual waste.

picky eaters almost always have a greater sense taste and smell than "normals".

many people think the because they can eat anything and like foods that are horribly bitter like beer, and coffee that they are somehow superior when the opposite is true they have inferior taste buds and a terrible sense of smell.

My wife can eat almost anything yet she can;t smell when the orange trees are in bloom. she can't tell when milk has gone bad and will happily eat a bowl of cereal floating in rotten milk (that I can smell from across the room).

Some people are hyper sensitive to textures.

I was once a very picky eater it took years for my sense of smell to degrade to the point that I could eat common things like mushrooms or ham. Both were foods that had such over powering smells and tastes as to be inedible to me.

Basically to a picky eater many foods are seen by their brains and instincts as poisons. Bitter foods usually indicate alkaloids and that's poison.

Picky eaters are less likely to be poisoned, but also less likely to eat nasty off tasting foods in a survival situation. Picky eaters are a result of evolution it was beneficial to be picky in some instances.

Just like people with ME are superior because they are so sensitive to light and noise that they have to hide in a sound proof light proof room all day.

My ex was a pretty bad picky eater:

>Could not get anything with any form of sodium in it, which made shopping hell sometimes and limited what we could get.
>Would not eat anything with regular flower in it: so pizza, bread, etc was out unless it was something like a cauliflower crust.
>Would not eat meat that wasn't from the freezer, so no lunch meats, etc.
>Would not drink normal milk and could not make anything with it.
>Didn't know what the fuck she wanted most of the time, so I ended up having to repeat recipes a lot.

Oh, and she was a NEET and couldn't cook for herself outside basic stuff like scrambled egg and would literally starve herself until I would make dinner after work. Honestly, it was pretty bad all around.

MAKING your children eat all what's on the plate is fucked. it's not just bad parenting, it's teaching them permanent unhealthy eating habits, like eating until the food is gone not until you're full.

If you're unfamiliar with a flavor it can take several tries to appreciate it, or your tastes may develop over time and you discover something you used to not enjoy you now do.

That happened to me with raw tomatoes, gorgonzola/blue cheese, and sushi. Now those are some of my favorite foods, even though I used to hate them even into my 20s.

[Anonymous No.14117179]

Usually the problem in my experience is that when someone's first or only experience with a food is prepared terribly, they'll grow to hate it so much that just the smell or thought of eating it actually drives them to nausea. That's how it was for me, mostly with various kinds of cooked vegetables. Turns out my mom just isn't a very good cook. I've since reclaimed a lot of foods I would have otherwise picked out of my plate, mostly by actually preparing them for myself. Starting with the fresh ingredient and handling it all the way through did a lot to break the stigma. There's still some vegetables that I think are just garbage plant trash like eggplant and zucchini, but they don't make me retch violently the way they used to.

>>14117209
I've given zucchini more than enough chances. It's a bland, mushy, sluglike vegetable. It can't contribute texture or flavor to a dish. You can make it edible by chopping it till it's a flavorless slurry, but why put in the effort of preparing a worthless filler? Unless you're just desperate to dispose of the things cause your garden is full of them, I don't see the point.

[Anonymous No.14117363]

>>14117311
If you don't have a grill you can get a similar carmelization by roasting your zucchini on a preheated baking sheet right on the floor or bottom heating element of your oven (if electric).

The idea is you want to actually develop some color on the zucchini while cooking it through but not reducing it to mush.

They have a lot of water in them so you can make this better by salting them generously beforehand and letting the water drain out.

[Anonymous No.14117428]

>>14117363
I've tried them oven roasted before and they're still bland and mushy. At the end of the day I'd be okay with very nearly any other vegetable instead for any possible preparation. Since I'd never buy them and I'm not going to grow them, unless someone gave me a basket of zucchini as their dying act and I felt morally compelled to do something with them besides composting, I'm not going to force myself to try to find some redeeming quality in the things.

[Anonymous No.14117457]

>>14117428
This is a step above oven roasting. You preheat your cookie sheet on the BOTTOM of your oven. Right up against the heating element. It's like a 450 degree sear in a hot, dry environment AFTER you salt and drain the zucchini. Doing this concentrates and develops the sugars in it.

It's a delicious vegetable. Deserves a proper shot.

Picky kids probably had shit cooks for parents.
We've been feeding our 8 month old solid foods (purees and very soft finger foods) for about 2-3 months now and she gets a really wide variety of spices and flavors. Whenever possible she eats a blended and undersalted version of what we're eating.

It's very good for them nutritionally too. Picky kids probably had their brains half-formed by eating preservative-packed baby foods from shelf-stable jars and shit like those teething biscuits that have ground up Flinstones vitamins in them to make up for the deficiencies the kids are getting in their regular diet.

Yeah, people who keep candy and cereal in the house like they were staples are insane. Usually the sweetest snacky things we have around that aren't homemade are chocolate chips or dates. Occasionally the wife will make cookies or a cake, or we'll have a pint or two of good ice cream.

I'm autistic and some flavors and textures in foods induce vomiting in me to a degree I can't control. Since I'd rather not purge all the other food I liked, I'll avoid the foods that make me physically ill. Yeah, it fucking sucks, but I have a broken brain so what the hell am I supposed to do?
