I'm still laughing at the person who said their child wouldn't be picky because they'd have to eat what they were given. Clearly, that was someone without kids. Great post. Found you via BlogHer.

When I was younger, my mom tried everything to get me to try and eat. She was in the same predicament that you were - I simply wouldn't eat if there was nothing I liked. This has continued until this day. While I am more adventurous with foods and will try new things, I find that I still don't LIKE a lot of food that I do try. People think that just because I am picky that I don't try things, but I do. I think it is just the way my taste buds are - I am more limited in the foods I like than most people. Don't give up on making your son TRY new things, but don't force him to eat something he's tried and doesn't like. :) I personally don’t think that there is much you can do to force someone (kids, adults), to NOT be picky.
