Picky children

[Anonymous No.15929790]

Why are children typically so picky when it comes to food? I have several nieces and nephews, and all of them turn their noses up at anything that isn't meme kids' food like nuggets, tendies, hot dogs, mac n cheese, grilled cheese, etc. It seems like children only want salty/fatty/sweet. Anything past that, they do not want it. They reject almost anything else I throw at them; just recently I made chicken parmigiana and they wouldn't eat it, they wanted PB&J sandwiches, kek. And this seems to be very common with children in general. I even remember being a picky asshole myself as a kid.

So I was thinking, is there an evolutionary reason for this? Did children who focused only on these basic flavors survive better? If so, then why do our palettes expand as we mature? And finally, do you consider adults who still act like this immature? I do. I had a gf like this a few years ago and it really pissed me off, I viewed her as a womanchild.

I really doubt it. Some kids just latch on to a few things they like and say fuck everything else.

Yeah they want calorie dense, microbe free food because that fulfills their nutrition needs and doesn't risk espousing them to any potentially dangerous microbes that could make them unwell because they have built up an immunity yet. Also chicken parmigiana is sloppa

properly raised kids will eat whatever because they know they have to.
sure, everyone has a veggie or two they dont like, but most of the time picky eaters are caused by lazy trashy parents who just cave, give in and take their kid to McDonalds the second they start crying about broccoli.

Yes. Imagine if children (who are by nature curious as fuck and put almost anything into their mouths), liked the taste of a variety of things instead of just particular stuff in the first few years of their life when they can move around. They'd die instantly. If these kids are old, then it's most likely the parents being retarded

in nature a human probably had something like a 1 in 3 chance of making it to 5. It was undoubtedly less than 50%. Picky eating is a good sign in early childhood then swings in the complete opposite direction if they still are in their teens

This. It's because of the parents ,they let the kids decide what to eat and then it turns out like that. Adults, at least some, also trend to choose fast food.

Children's palate is a lot more sensitive than ours, as they sense things more strongly, so they tend to avoid bitter things.

That being said, I was raised to eat whatever was put in front of me and to not complain. We were never beaten for that reason, but there was an implicit understanding that if someone prepared a meal for you, you would eat it.

I would like to add in that obesity with kids is drastically increasing. In our country it is at least and many of the kids affected by it are those of migrant families.

Kids of a very young age eat whatever the adults eat, if the adult is eating unhealthy and has no idea how vegetables taste like then the result is their kids mimicking that behavior but at a worse level cause an adult might be able to make an argument but kids can only throw tantrums and actually create fear for specific foods if you let them run wild.

At an older age however it becomes more common perhaps for kids to have money or at least some way or form to get unhealthy food. For migrant kids it is mostly kebab followed by a massive diner at home, this with lack of exercise creates obese kids. A lot of them, specially from poor families actually move less cause somehow the priority of the family is set on owning expensive phones, even the kids and they spend time playing games or being on socialmedia.

You're right OP, it is evolutionary. Their brains need sugar and fat to develop properly, and bitter foods can contain teratogens. Teratogens aren't as big a problem as you age but lack of food still is, so older people don't mind bitter flavors in favor of greater food availability

Personally, I hated all food outside of pure garbage when I was under 16 years old. Feed them the garbage they like, pester them with outside food, and feed them vitamins that taste like chocolate so they mature properly. As they age, give them proper food so they get a proper palette.

To everyone posting about how kids can innately sense that they need certain kinds of food or stay away from other kinds of food because they know they need something else: all of that is great but if you’ve ever actually seen a child you’d know that they don’t even taste or smell food before they decide they don’t like it.

When I was young my mom would on very rare occasion make frozen fish sticks for dinner and apparently when I was 6-7 I loved it. When I was told it was fish I immediately rejected it and wouldn’t eat fish again until my mid teens.

I’m almost 30 and I work with well adjusted adults with high paying careers, houses in the burbs, and families with children, and I have a coworker who eats like he’s 7 years old. A bunch of us like to cook so we’ll do potlucks and other workplace meal events and that one guy will skip the brisket, burgers, burritos, egg/pasta/macaroni salads, pulled pork, etc. and will only ever eat hotdogs or hamburgers with ketchup only. Being a foodie, it’s interesting to pick his brain because if you ask him if he’d ever eat X food he’ll say “I’ve never tried it, so no”.

I think it’s more of a psychological thing than anything. If kids didn’t watch cartoons and tv shows that shit on fish and vegetables I don’t think there’d be as many picky kids. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes people, including children, have a legitimate dislike of certain foods. To this day I just cannot get behind squash. I can tolerate squash if it’s incorporated into a dish that it can absorb flavors from, but growing up my mom used to just steam squash and serve it and it still gives me nightmares to this day.

tl;dr when kids get it in their head that they shouldn’t or wouldn’t like a food item then they reject the idea of it entirely and won’t even bother to try it

Some of it can be attributed to upbringing. Only give your kids "adult" foods and they will learn to like it when they get hungry enough. Both of my sisters kids ate everything as toddlers but when they started talking they became picky.

There's a lot of reasons. Kids are naturally sensitive to bitter flavors, which is definitely an evolutionary advantage, as bitter often indicates poison. This means vegetables will be stronger on the palate. Another factor is how their parents eat. Not just what they eat, but how they eat. Do they eat the carbs first on the plate? Do they not finish all their vegetables? Do their parents say they don't like a vegetable for any reason? Kids mirror all behavior they see. If their parents are picky, they'll mirror that, even if they actually enjoy the food they're eating. Next, corporations spend a lot of money to make kids want unhealthy foods. You are going to have to compete not only with TV ads, but now phone ads, tablet ads, computer ads, you name it. Finally, kids will mirror their friends. If they hang out with Harry and Harry's parents are picky retards, Harry will influence your kid. Once your kid gets in the school system, they're going to be meeting a lot of Harrys. Oh, and if the parents suck at cooking, this compounds the issue.

As someone who has worked with a lot of kids, I personally wouldn't recommend the "finish everything on your plate, or else" method. It encourages obesity. You often shouldn't be finishing most plates. It can also create food aversion and a fear of eating, not a healthy mindset. I typically do the method of "however old you are, that's how many bites you have to take." When your kid is 4 or 5, this often makes them eat just a bit of a vegetable. I also ask why they don't want to eat it. They'll usually tell you plainly. That can help teach you how to cook it better next time. And I make it fun. You have to keep it positive, or the kid will internalize your anger.

I eat steamed broccoli, asparagus, and brussel sprouts all the time as an adult, but that's pretty hard for a sensitive kid to do. So you have to meet them in the middle. Sauces, roasts, stews, stir fry, anything to help balance that bitter flavor.

Kids evolved to be vary of new foods to avoid poisonous stuff. They'll eat a much bigger variety of food if you introduce them to it early enough. Just don't give them processed garbage 'cause they don't have the willpower to not get addicted.
Mostly, though, it's just bad cooking. I know of no adult who likes steamed veggies with no sauces or spices. Why they expect their kids to like it is beyond me.

Because children have more tastebuds than adults. They taste things more intensely than we do. Thus they prefer more simple, milder and bland foods. Things like vegetables, especially sprouts, can taste extremely bitter to a child. Not only that, but you also have to learn to appreciate certain tastes, that’s why certain foods are called acquired taste, since it can take a lot of exposure before you actually like it. Children obviously lack experience. Just like if you’re a westerner and go to Asia, you’d find lots of tastes to be disgusting, simply because you’re not used to them.

Parents that force their children to eat foods that they don’t like are also forcing negative experiences on the child, and ruining their relationship with food. It’s also another reason why children are obese, when parents force kids to finish their plate of food, when they simply might be full or might genuinely not like the food.

It's the parents. They just give the children whatever they want and want they want is junk. Me and my sister never had any problem with anything that was put in front of us as kids. Every meal had vegetables, we always ate it, always liked it. Only thing I remember was my sister didn't eat her carrot sticks in her lunch and started stashing them in her wardrobe and the basement. My mum found the mother load of carrot sticks in her wardrobe. She didn't get in trouble, she just stopped getting carrots in her lunch. I think they were replaced with an apple. Kek, I don't know why she didn't throw them in the bin at school.

This is a ridiculous perspective to have. My parents definitely weren't harsh on me with food and I ended up perfectly fine. When people are put in the position to contend with real adversity, they deal with it and adjust. They don't curl up into the fetal position and beg mommy for chicken nuggets (at least normal people don't). It's really not a big deal: a person without innate work ethic and passion is going to end up a shitbag no matter what cuisine their parents forcefeed them, and a person who embodies success will not be held back by getting what they want sometimes as a kid.
Obviously I agree that ALWAYS bending to the kid is terrible, but I also think it's stupid to force them to clean their plate every night.

The way your brain processes taste/flavor actually changes as you grow up. It's not simply a matter of little kids "getting over it" when they get older; it literally tastes different to them.

That said, there are absolutely circumstances of parents babying their kids and never forcing them to develop a taste for anything besides chicken nuggets and french fries, well into their teens and college years

Not him but yes, I myself was a stubborn child and am still stubborn, I can get kids to do anything once they learn I don't put up with any shit. All you need to know is that time moves much more slowly for them, which puts you at an advantage because you're an adult and used to life being dull and boring. So you just play chicken with them using boredom as a weapon. That's what I do anyway. I will bore the fuck out of them until they do what I want. It usually only takes 1 or 2 times before they learn.

I think it's the parent's fault. They don't want to force the child to try new things. They make it something dramatic instead of just simply putting food in front of a child and expecting them to eat it. Me, my siblings, my cousins, and my school mates weren't picky. The kids in my family weren't allowed to be picky when I was younger. That's changed now, though. My nieces and one nephew are all extremely picky. My other nephew (sister's stepson) wasn't picky as a kid. He ate whatever was given to him because he was never spoiled and allowed to act up.

Child taste buds are more sensitive.
Your can also end up with kids who have sensory issues which just multiples the pickiness since trying new things is like nails on a chalk board for them.

The best way to combat it is through encouragement and sampling. Outside of the above, picky eaters are usually a result of bad to subpar parenting.
Like you can't expect a kid to not fuck around even you're trying to get them to do something, and yelling at them is only going to make the issue worse.

Generally it's best to have the kid sample everything and get used to trying new food. They don't have to eat it if they really don't like it, but they have to try it.

[Anonymous No.15935617]

Picky eaters are born from parents who cook like shit, I think. The fact that most people cant cook vegetables properly so to kids it just tastes like absolutely garbage. i knew when I was a kid I was a picky eater because my mom couldnt cook but when I went to my aunt's house I ate everything since it was all tasty.

A good way of teaching kids to not be picky eaters is to not force them to finish the plate but to at least have a bite or two of the food they dislike. Sometimes they might like it and enjoy it the next time and sometimes they don't and tell you about it.

I'd say this still fits in with the theory since if kids have a comfort zone of food they're familiar with, it makes sense to stick with what they know is safe if they have it in abundance. It becomes a psychological issue when this develops into adulthood. I don't have kids but I think the trick would be to predispose them to trying new foods all the time and not getting too comfortable with the same few meals.

Children experience taste differently than adults. Bitter tastes like vegetables are considerably stronger and more unpleasant to them. It's not as simple as an acquired taste, it literally tastes different once you're older
In the meantime you should just be trying your best to both not lock them into a comfort zone and also not put them off trying new things from too many bad experiences with things their taste buds aren't ready for

>As someone who has worked with a lot of kids, I personally wouldn't recommend the "finish everything on your plate, or else" method. It encourages obesity.
Not only that but it encourages the idea that eating certain foods should be a chore. Telling your kid "eat all your vegetables and you will be rewarded with dessert" is as good as saying vegetables = bad and sweets = good.

In terms of the bitterness I agree to an extent, with things like sprouts, cabbage etc. But stuff like broccoli, peas, asparagus etc are relatively sweet and really shouldn't be too bitter for a kid. If they are, you've cooked them wrong.

I was always fine with peas and corn as a kid. These days I find corn in particular overly sweet and don't like adding it to savory dishes or it ruins the flavor for me, so I keep the sweet vegetables on a separate plate rather than mixing it with the main.

As a kid my parents would try to get me to eat carrot sometimes, giving me just a few slices of pure boiled carrot, and I remember that being unpleasant tasting enough that I didn't want to eat it and would just sit there instead after having finished everything else. My dad would get angry at me because of that, even if I did eat it they'd be upset if I covered it in sauce first

Kek, which is retarded. Like why would you get angry at a kid just because they wouldn't eat a carrot? It's pathetic and clearly overcompensating for some flaw in their own psyche.

A parent should offer encouragement and try to teach their children to try new foods, but not be forceful or overbearing. All that does is cause the kid to associate that particular food with a negative aspect, and for what purpose? The nutritional benefits of a carrot are so minimal that it literally has zero impact on your well-being, yet the abuse by the parent can cause lifetime psychological issues for the kid. As long as your kid is eating well, eating meat, not limiting their diet to just french fries, not fat and getting the majority of their required nutrients, then a parent shouldn't be so forceful and dogmatic. It serves nothing, other than to boost the parents incredibly weak ego.

Anon I had the opposite experience with my relatives and kids. It’s parent reaction they gauge and picky parents that cause picky kids. Also bad cooks. I thought I hated chicken bc my mom cooked chicken breasts for over an hour with vinegar (she has ocd and mental issues) and I was a picky kid. Now with mine, and my nieces I’ve introduced them to all sorts of stuff and they love it. For bitter and certain things they do taste it stronger so they may not genuinely like things as tastes change through age. However from weird offal to extreme stinky cheeses my family loves it bc I didn’t react weirdly. Only my nephew got a bit strange when his mother melted down that we were having tongue for dinner and she also threw a fit that the cheese was bad (it was a ripe English blue) but the kids and everyone loved it. Normally it’s the parents being picky/bad cooks and a life filled with bad food they develop bad pallets and emotional preferences to bland food.

Also try cooking and preparing it differently. They don’t like carrot? Well try roasting them with some nice oil garlic and a bit of honey at the end. Is the kid complaining about microwaved frozen veggies being gross? Bc then they’re right. Is your food over processed and over cooked? Then yeah your kid is right it’s gross.

The issue with the finish your plate thing is food quality. My mother growing up had mental health issues and her food was legit inedible. I ended up cooking for myself when I was old enough to use the appliances, but they did the whole finish your plate thing and it was a nightmare. Finish your milk! Well now I know I’m actually lactose intolerant and that’s why it made me feel sick. Eat your veggies! No they’re frozen for 6mo and cooked for 10min in the microwave with no butter or seasonings bc that’s “rude to moms cooking” it was cool bc it taught me to cook by necessity but I had extremely unhealthy eating habits bc of my parents doing that bullshit.

This post spills the whole truth. My parents used to steam / boil all the veggies and I didn't like them as a kid. Well now they've learned to properly season, sautee, roast, etc. And when I come home from uni it all tastes delicious. So I thought, ok, maybe I would like the steamed stuff now. And sure, it's not disgusting, it's fine. But wow the difference is massive when they're cooked properly.

My parents also did this technique of always asking me to eat a few bites and I found it so scary as a kid (who knows why) but gradually without fail every single food they had me try repeatedly ended up tasting great when I was around 11-13. That's just the way it works I guess. I was never forced to eat everything, and now I'll literally give anything you put in front of me a go and I'll probably enjoy it (as long as it's not disgusting processed crap).

Yes and certain people just have bad tastes. Just like some people love shit music or love shit movies. Some people love shit food. Besides being ocd my mom was mad that her parents are fine dining all the time and was so upset she didn’t eat hotdogs growing up so then when she was adult it was all frozen meals and processed garbage. She didn’t learn any self control either even eating brownies and cookies I had made for school, like pans of cookies and then would say they made her sick or she got food poisoning from gorging herself. It wasn’t until I was in my late teens I realized she was extremely mentally ill.

He refused to eat anything and was passive aggressive the whole time. That was the last time I hung out with that certain person. He was a cool person for the last two years, then he pulls this shit.

The pickiness needs to be dealt with, but not at all costs. I think there are 2 important factors when it comes to nutrition for children that need to be considered at the same time: this is too difficult to grasp for most normies but maybe not on 4chan.

First, children need healthy food in sufficient quantity in order to grow up to their potential. Secondly, the child needs to develop a palate that allows him to eat a more varied diet. The first and the second requirement are not in opposition.

If you feed your child with food that it doesn't really like, you will most likely not meet the first requirement, which is, in my opinion, the most important one: the bodily development of the child with sufficient, healthy food. It is the task of the parent to find out what food exactly works. The second requirement is also important but should not interfere with the first: on one or two days in the week introduce food that the child doesn't like, so to develop his taste. If you try to force this 7 days per week you will make eating a chore, as said by other anons this is detrimental and there's a likelihood that the child doesn't eat enough.

We're not living in a concentration camp or in wartime so the eat-what-is-on-your-plate mentality is only partially correct. There's tons other foods available at cheap prices, there are many other methods of preparing food available, there's literally no excuse of sitting your child in front of a plate of food it doesn't like, every single day. It's fake tough-ass-parenting, now and even back in the day of the boomers.

[Anonymous No.15940926]

Another problem I feel is the fact that people are simply misinformed about nutrition and still believe in the food pyramid despite being debunked years ago.

Kids love fast food because it contains fats and salt, two of things they need the most for growth and development. In most american diets, it's incredibly carb heavy and americans do not eat enough organ meats and fatty meats for kids to get the needed vitamins and minerals for proper growth. Not to mention how parents tend to undersalt foods thinking it's better for them when salt is one of the most essential elements of growth.

In other words as long as you have fatty fish, cheap fatty cuts of meat, a wide variety of vegetables, organ meats and so on it'll do a lot in helping their pickiness.

This happened to me kinda but in an American school.
I forgot my lunch so they made me have the standard shitty meal(not whatever you could buy with lunch tickets) they make for kids who don’t bring or buy food. It was a very soggy peanut butter and orange marmalade sandwich which is a disgusting spread to put on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They couldn’t choose grape or strawberry? Fucking Orange marmalade?
Anyways I took one bite and between the fucked up flavors and sogginess I didn’t want any more, but the bulldyke lunch lady sat there and forced me to eat it as I cried. No kids cheering me on, just an angry witch public employee “just doing her job” by forcing me to eat the shit that they don’t even give the poorfags on free lunch programs.

I've got a 6 y.o. who loves broccoli, wouldn't turn down sprouts, can even eat spicy curries. Raw onion is about her only hard no, but she will take down a bowl of salad, sometimes not even wanting dressing! She's gonna live a healthy life and I am damn happy for her, but do I take credit for her good eating habits? Only partially. A lot of effort went into making her earliest solid foods fresh fruits and veggies, to the point that she primarily thinks of food as something that's supposed to be healthy and mostly plants. I don't believe everyone can have this level of success though. Some kids are just born ready to follow their parents' lead more. Temperament is a thing. I think nurture overcomes nature more often than not, but some kids are just shitheads independent of their influences.

Your tastebuds do not regenerate. They slowly die off one by one until you can't taste anything. When you're a kid your sense of taste is at its most sensitive. The older you get the more dull your tongue becomes, and you become more open to different flavors.

Late to this thread but I had a domineering psycho for a mother and she physically forced me to eat everything on my plate. No matter how gross or unpalatable it was. If I didnt, she would wash my mouth out with soap for being "disrespectful" or have my father beat me. There are a couple foods that I physically cant eat as an adult because of the trauma of being forcefed them as a child. I was never picky, I just had complete lunatics as parents.

Yes, that's what I've read in the past, a natural instinct to avoid poisonous berries and the like, which are usually bitter. Plus, sweet and fatty foods are craved by everyone as it is easiest way for the body to get and store energy, another big concern back then. Our palettes probably expanded as our mature bodies were able to cope with illnesses better and getting calories for our larger bodies was more important than any stomach upset.

That absolutely does not work. That is what makes people picky eaters as adults. Getting kids to eat is super simple. Give them the food, let them try it. If they like it, great. If not, thank them for trying it and move on. Try it again in a few years. If you try to force them to eat it, they will associate negative thoughts to the food you are forcing and they will never try it. Do it enough times and eventually they will reject anything new. My 10 year old hated asparagus when he was younger.

Yeah kids want calorie rich stuff with no weird tastes like bitterness that might mean poison. Not all, but most poisonous fruits and roots and such are bitter, and nearly all sweet stuff is good. Also when you're a kid (or a woman, or liberal, among other lifelong factors), your immediately present emotional state is of great concern to you, and your sensory experience can easily overwhelm what little better judgment or forbearance you may have.

Also maybe your fridge wasn't the best growing up, or your parents didn't chuck it close enough to the end date.

First off: Even kids have preferences.
If kids learn that if they fuss enough they can get what they prefer without backlash, they will do so.
Also, some kids are not so picky, but their parents might genuinely suck at cooking. I have seen kids gobble up my brocolli soup, knowing full well it's brocolli, while their parents can't season a speig to save their lives so they never eat much of anything at home.

You're just ignorant and retarded. Throwing around the buzzword "processed", thinking it means something is bad. Processed food is just food that's been cooked, canned, frozen, persevered or changed chemically in some way. Also despite what you think people don't become fat from not eating fruit and vegetables, they become fat from eating more calories than they're burning.

>nutritious
Grilled cheese, hotdogs, tendies and mac and cheese are all more nutritious than any fruit or vegetable. This is fact not opinion. Take an apple and a grilled cheese sandwich and break them down into their individual components and compare them on a nutritional level and the grilled cheese has far more nutritional value than the apple, it's not even close. The only benefit of the apple is vitamin c. And if you're not eating any fat at all, you'll struggle to absorb vitamins since some are fat soluble and require fat to be absorbed.

>worthless lardass detected
You're clearly the lardass, since when presented with nutritionally dense food you're unable to control yourself and therefore assume anyone that eats them is overweight. It's sad that you have no self-control and have to project your negativity onto others. Seek help.

I keep some guinea pigs and recently I got a new baby one. I've had youngsters but this was the first baby-baby, must've been a month old and just weaned. He was so small he was like a tiny mouse. Well, an interesting thing I observed about that baby guinea pig was that he refused to eat any vegetables or treats given directly to him or which he found on the floor of the cage. However he would still engage in the behavior of stealing the same foods directly out of the mouths of the older pigs as they ate. It was only after watching an older pig eating e.g. spinach, running up to him and ripping the leaf out of his mouth, then eating that, and repeating the process a few times, before the baby would take spinach on his own from my hand or the floor. He had to go through the same process with all the other fruits and vegetables I feed them. Although now that he's older, about a teenager in pig years, he doesn't do that anymore. Now I can feed him a brand new food and he'll pretty much eat anything.

How stupid to complain about mushy food as a child when you've spent 10% of your life or more not even having teeth.

I'm no expert but I think it has something to do with metabolism and how different a growing kids' body is from an adults. MOST kids have tons of energy, they're constantly moving, doing something, learning something, think of how hungry you'd be, then add to that they're growing physically bigger unlike adults do.

No you didn't. I doubt you've ever been truly hungry or you would understand how it takes over your brain.

They reflect the eating habits of the parents. If the parents eat trash, they'll eat trash (and reject anything exotic). If the parents are picky (or have something like pickiness, like a specific diet e.g. veganism) then the kids will be picky in that way too. If you give them what you're having, don't really give in until they have a final few bites or whatever, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

pretty much
salt, pepper and butter make all greens way better
You can also add other things like some garlic and some savory sauces like soy sauce/worchestire

>My half sister was fine with vegetables
>My dad's mentally ill parenting has me fucking HATING all vegetables except carrots to this day
>Mum figured out I'll eat anything in a soup so I eat my vegetables that way

Tastes are weird.
The retards in this thread, you're not on /pol/ anymore you don't need to pretend being a narcissistic mess of a parent is based. It causes your children to fucking despise you and fucks them up mentally.

Ironically enough i was fed junk as a kid and I now despise all processed and junk food, don't have a problem with vegetables at all. The only thing I don't eat is seafood.
