My turn to vent!!! I live with my boyfriend and his children visit every other weekend during the school season and every other WEEK during the summer. these children have no bounderies, rude and are PICKY eaters. Chicken nuggets, mac and cheese,ramen noodle and Pizza is the extent of what they will eat only WHITE bread,except one who eats all day along, peanut butter sandwiches with honey, and ice cream..everything these kids are poison to there bodies. ages 17,14,10 I am a diabetic type 2 so I know how important eating healthy is, I also am the one who buys and cooks the food in this house. I am always fit to be tied the weeks they are here trying to cook, I eat alot of veggies, dried beans(cooked)whole fresh foods..they will say, that is gross or sit and whine because I used tomatoes..when i do call them to eat they run to the table like they haven eaten in a week, grab a bunch of food(if is it to their liking) leaving little for anyone else to eat,it is this behavior that causes tension between me and my boyfriend. I find myself cooking a meal just for them and they all eat together. I find something healthy to eat along with my 2 daughters. I am tired of buying food for 2 separate meals, it is too costly. On top of it all they think they need to eat mainly all the meat portions and nothing else..I am at my WIT end with this picky eating!!

You are a slimebag lady. Obeying stupid ancient dietary laws that have nothing to do with “God” is just fine but people should eat food THEY HATE THE TASTE OF just to please you? YOU are the one who deserves the term “food-controlling”. And you are also an idiot to eat food YOU don’t like to please your host. That makes no sense whatsoever and I fail to understand the impulse. Why in the world would anyone want anyone to eat some food they hated? Wacko.

Allergic to nightshades? holy… I’d cry.

To all those with texture fetishes: sometimes the food you hate can be prepared without that texture. If you kindly describe to the cook what you hate about it, and they still suggest you try it. Try a little. Spit it out if necessary.

I’ve discovered I like wood-ear mushrooms, though I can’t stand most.

I guess I have to call myself (68) as “picky”, too! Because I listen into my body, what is good for it, in other words, my body tells me, what is good for it or not. And I feel very well and healthy that way. I am vegetarian but sometimes I eat eggs as well and then suddenly my body tells me to stop, and I do so. I guess people should be more awake (or maybe even picky) about what they are eating, maybe they would have less allergies!
