I do know that I’ve become less picky of an eater as I’ve gotten older. I can only surmise I’m in the minority in that regard.

One of the author's main arguments in this article is that kids will most likely grow out of it over time. I don't know if other agree with that -- it seems like you're saying that's been your experience.

I've often wondered about eating disorders in adolescents -- especially girls. It's a serious disorder with a high mortality (20% mortality, last I heard). I just wonder if that kind of disorder is related to being a picky eater as a young kid -- or are the two phenomenons basically separate?

I know I grew out of it. I think my dad would be amazed to know that my favorite veggies are cooked carrots and green beans. I hated carrots and green beans as a kid.

With my kids we can't keep produce in our house long. My children are like little locusts.
