Picky eaters really blow me away.

I can understand being a young kid and not wanting to venture out of your comfort zone too much, but as an adult? The possibilities are endless!

Mexican food, Indian,Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Polish, you have a whole big world of cuisine to explore and you’re gonna have chicken fingers and fries?

Okay, your loss, people!

These memes are for all the picky eaters out there…may God have mercy on your souls.

1. Do you really want to act like you care what you eat?

No one is buying it!

2. It’s hard to get rid of that taste.

It just seems to stay around, doesn’t it…?

Science Says It’s Pointless to Try and Pressure Picky Eaters into Being Adventuresome

There are two types of people in the world – people who, when faced with food, shrug and dig in regardless of preference and people who wrinkle their noses and would rather go hungry than take one single bite of food they don’t 100% enjoy.

Now, being one of the former (there are very few foods I’ll flat-out refuse to eat, and some of those are due to food allergies), I can say that it can be hard to understand the picky eaters in my life. Food, in general, is just enjoyable for me, and the concept of deciding not to eat rather than just try something that I might not like is completely foreign.

After reading this new study published in the journal Appetite, though, I may have to change my attitude – and the practice of trying to cajole the picky peeps into trying new things – because according to science, it just doesn’t work.

Not only that, but forcing kids (and presumably anyone) to eat unwanted foods doesn’t affect any outcomes later in life. When it comes to children (actual children), the tension that can invade mealtime over food battles can also damage the health of your overall relationship.

According to Dr. Julia Lumeng, the author of the study, pediatrician, and professor:

“Parental pressure is having no effect, good or bad, on picky eating or weight in this population. The kids’ picky eating also was not very changeable. It stayed the same whether parents pressured their picky eaters or not.”

The study followed 244 ethnically diverse toddlers and compared the pressure tactics of parents to the children’s healthy growth and the eventual reduction of picking eating and found zero to support the position of forcing kids to clean their plates of everything they hate.

“We found that over a year of life in toddlerhood, weight remained stable on the growth chart whether they were picky eaters or not.”

Basically, stop worrying so much about every left piece of broccoli or perfectly delicious rice that’s met with a turned-up nose. Sure, you should still introduce your kids (and others) to a variety of foods in the hopes that one day they’ll acquire a more refined palate, but otherwise…don’t stress.

If you want to go the extra mile, Dr. Lumeng also suggests using the words “choosey” or “selective” instead of “picky” in order to keep your child’s associations with food and mealtime more positive.

Honestly, I feel like this study just set me free as a mother, friend, and wife. Now, I can let my husband and my toddler eat the same types of meals six days a week and know that at least one of them will probably still turn out okay.

The Foods These 12 Picky Eaters Would Turn Down Even If They Were Starving

Most of us have a food or two that totally turns our stomach, but if you were starving? I think most people would choke down what’s available (and the contestants on Naked and Afraid seem to prove the assumption) – but these 12 people have found at least one food that makes them ready to die rather than make the best of things.

#12. To save my life.

“In boot camp, I learned for a fact that it is broccoli.

While it’s not the most physical thing in the world, you rarely sit down, and you don’t truly rest much. I ate as much as humanly possible because I was losing weight so quickly, but most importantly, the DI’s check your plate. I could not choke down the broccoli to save my life. I ended up mashing it up and hiding it under my orange peels.”

#11. Calories are calories.

“Anything moldy or spoiled.

That’s it. I’ve been starving before, like “Sleep for dinner” and then “We’re out of oatmeal and milk but you can drink coffee creamer for breakfast” starving.

I will eat ANYTHING if I’m hungry enough. I may not enjoy it, but calories are calories.”

#10. Like an oil spill.

“Salad with a ton of mayo. Looks like you caught a lettuce in an oil spill.”

#9. The real texture.

“Anything with onions. I like the artificial flavor (funyuns) but the real texture is disgusting to me.”

#8. Organs.

“Liver. Gross…”

#7. Gooshy?

“Straight tomatoes. Will not eat! Too gooshy.

Chopped up and made into salsa? Will eat.

Mixed into a paste and spread on something? Will eat.

Straight? Nope.”

#6. In the can.

“Canned green beans.”

#5. Never say never.

“I will never ever, ever eat dog meat.”

#4. Americans, man.

“Spotted dick. It’s a real thing but the name really turns me off.”

#3. The worst.

“Raisins.

The worst food possible.”

#2. I would die.

“Not really food but milk…If I was dying and milk was my only option, I would not consume it, I would die.

Chocolate/strawberry milk is fine, but regular white milk literally makes me gag and throw up. I’d pass on the life saving milk.”

#1. Not even if you paid me.

“Mushy peas. Not even if you paid me.”
