Picky eating is a very common feature of childhood, as children learn what textures and types of food they like. For many, picky eating is a habit that can continue right into adulthood.
I spoke to dietitian Alexandra Bhathal on this very topic, specifically how children and adults can develop healthy eating habits and learn to love different types of food. You can view our chat below.
Additional Resources
For children, parents might be interested in exploring the Ellyn Satter Institute website and also take a look at their resource on the "Division of Responsibility in Feeding" which can help reduce picky eating and foster healthier habits over time.
For adults, Precision Nutrition has this very practical infographic and article, titled "What to Do If You Don't Like Vegetables".
