tea is gross if you don't prepare it right, so it's hard to get into unless someone is guiding your hips

I was so picky as a child, my entire diet subsisted of chicken nuggets, pasta with butter, and mac and cereal. A few years later, I accepted canned soup and raw carrots.

Now, I'll try anything. I'm still not a huge fan of some things, but I've learned to cook almost anything I "didn't like" in a way that I do enjoy.


To me, that's a big part of pickiness. It's proven teaching kids how to cook/including them in making dinner helps decrease pickiness and general avoidance of the unknown.

Is being a picky eater a normal occurrence in the US? I kinda have the feeling that a lot of children are raised on only a small variety of foods and thus, they become picky eating manchildren.

>> No.7022319

>>7022267
Yes it occurred primarily due to prohibition and the increasing influence of puritan ideology. Basically the picky manchilds parents where themselves picky manchildren due to them never getting over what was supposed to be a child's diet designed ironically to be healthy for the child's development. Sadly though it's morphed into some sort of national icon and thus is immune to any sort of criticism and any attempts to due so is met with ridicule and xenophobia.

this disorder is about as serious and ADHD and depression. They are disorders that are very real, but people take very lightly.

Don't think that picky eaters don't even try to adapt to new foods. They try and have a powerful gag reflex. Their tastebuds are a lot more sensitive to taste and textures.

look at this clip of a man who struggles everyday with his mental disorder and tell me the struggle isn't real. You can't just tell these people 'just man up' or 'grow up'

I wouldn't quite put it that way, but it's not as far off the mark as it sounds. The culture has English roots. For a long time in the US mild foods were considered classy and properly American, while strongly flavored (or strong smelling) foods were looked down because they were what immigrants ate. They were ethnic.This goes all the way back to the first waves of German immigrants bringing a taste for sauerkraut and strong mustard with them. It took the arrival of Italians and Greeks to make garlic common here, and was a long, slow acceptance. As recently as 1975 it was called "the most controversial addition to food" in the Joy of Cooking!

Remember, the availability of fresh veg year round is a recent development. During most of American history canned vegetables were the norm most of the year. So living off meat and potatoes didn't seem that absurd if you could afford to. And if you couldn't you ate beans until you hopefully did well enough to afford meat and potatoes.

This kind of thinking still holds on in American backwaters. You see less of it in cosmopolitan places, where immigrants have added many new tastes to the American diet. In the backwaters these tastes are still viewed with suspicion or contempt because they're "foreign".
