[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 548809, member: 1514"] I think there is a huge difference in picky and having foods that one simply doesnt like. Cory doesnt like cherry's or onions. Jamie doesnt like coconut. I only found out Jamie didnt like cornbread after he moved out on his own. We ate it the entire time he was growing up as a staple food and he simply dealt with it because it was cheap and filling but as an adult he just wont eat it now. When I make potato salad I pull out a portion for Cory before I put the onions in so he will have his without the onions. Then I add the onions for the rest of us. I just never make a cake that uses coconut if Jamie is going to be there to eat it and of course, cherries arent the fruit for Cory...he gets something else. Both the younger two boys ate almost everything else we would put on their plates. Liver, greens, lima beans. More spaghetti than I can shake a stick at. I can hardly stomach spaghetti now because of how much of it we ate when they were growing up. Now Billy is much more picky because my mom allowed him to be. She convinced him from an early age that he was allergic to eggs which was a crock. He isnt. He just threw a fit one day when he was trying to eat them and she didnt want to make him eat them again so she said he didnt have to...hence he didnt have to do anything he didnt want to do. No more eggs. He got exactly what he wanted. He lived basically on microwaved food most of his life with her and ended up morbidly obese at a very young age. She simply didnt cook much once she hit retirement. She bought him microwave pizza's and microwave hamburgers and chicken nuggets and microwave french fries. She made him cookies. Heck if we did all that. He didnt eat anything veggie except for green beans and corn. My little boys learned to eat broccoli from about the time they got good teeth because they called them trees and they ate asparagus because they called them collard sticks...lmao. [/QUOTE]
