My husband hates everything I like food wise. He used to be a vegitarian but has since started eating chicken and fish. He'll sometimes eat red meat but it's not often. I can't understand why people are picky eaters? And it's not just coz he doesn't like it, it can simply look bad.

Actual it is scientific answer. Research has stated that those who are picky eaters, tend to have a super tongue ... which can taste everything. From something sweet too something that was left out yesturaday. These people are usually skinny and can hardly eat anything. People who are overweight tend to have less taste buds on their tongue, thus giving better eating quality. Sorry to here that about your husband, good trick that i have heard make everything less... meaning less salt, less sugar, and less love.......

Peace out...

I am a VERY picky eater. I do not like onions, green peppers, green onions, red peppers, meatloaf, grapefruit, and on and on. It all started when I was in high school, I ran cross country and track and field and was on a very strict diet. I was a runner for nine years so needless to say after that nine years was over the taste of things that I used to like that I never even thought about eating were out of the question. They did not have the same taste or smell or anything. That has grown into if I see something that does not look good I will not try it. I used to be worse than this but being pregnant I have been getting cravings and some of my tastes for food are coming back. I used to not even like soda or any condiments on my hamburgers. It has taken me a long time to grow back into eating healthy and smart.

It depends. Sometimes it's for dietary/health reasons. Like red meat and stuff are less healthy for you than chicken and fish. If you're a health-nut, you'll be more likely to stay away from the red meat.

I guess some people actually don't like the taste of certain meats or meals, so that also acts as a deterrent.

But really fussy eating usually comes down to dietary restrictions and it's all in the brain. You can really learn to like to eat almost anything, especially when you're hungry

I AM A PICKY EATER...I can't give you a scientific answer, but for me it started as a child. My mom's motto was try anything (foodwise) at least once, so I vowed that when I got 18 I wouldn't eat anything else that I didn't want to. Also, I wonder sometimes if it's that we're picky or is it that we are absolutely sure of what we like & what we don't like.

There is picky and there is discerning. It sounds like your husband is discerning. If you go from a vegetarian diet to an omnivore diet, and vice versa, the food textures and tastes change. There is also the element of grease from meat, it can be minimized but it is still there. Also, what are you cooking. Generally, vegetarians have a wide and diverse range of foods that are quite favorable. Is your food kind of middle of the road, steak and potatoes fare. I wouldn't like that either. Try a stir-fry with fresh vegetables and peppers. Shrimp turns out amazing in stir fries. Picky means that you stick with a very narrow range of food, like fried things or one type of cuisine.. It is quite common in the South

Picky eaters have never suffered from forced hunger. Going without food for three days is a sure cure for picky eaters.

Action item: Have your husband kidnapped and dropped into the middle of the forest with a map, compass and water. After a three day hike, he gets to civilization and have, waiting for him, all of his unfavorite foods. Let's see how picky he is about his food then.

There is no one single Paleo Diet, as our ancestors from all over the world ate dramatically different diets depending on the climate where they lived, their landscape, accessibility to water bodies, and the latitude that they lived. This is a detailed meal plan for the paleo diet https://tr.im/py20f

In some cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% plant foods and 10% animal foods, and in other cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% animal foods and 10% plant foods.

For example, our ancestors that lived near the equator had year long access to more plant materials such as root vegetables and various fruits, veggies, and nuts.

On the other hand, our ancestors that lived at higher latitudes further away from the equator only had access to fruits and vegetables seasonally at one specific time period per year, and had larger periods of the year where they ate a higher % of meats, organ meats, fish, and other animal-based foods, or fermented foods that could be stored for winter.

My son is one, I did some reading, from what I can deduce, picky eaters have more taste buds then other people. So they are more sensitive to certain tastes. Mildly spicy to us maybe fire to them. Strawberries and tomatoes, which are mold foods, actually may taste moldy to them while not to us.

Looking bad, I can't say I blame them.

My son, also was sensitive to texture. For example, he would eat regular applesauce but not chunky. And this is as an adult who ate other foods so it is not like he does not like things that needed to be chewed-- fries and burgers for example.

each little thing I even have ever study suggested i'm not meant to tension my baby to consume and could make her some thing else as a replace. Sorry, unlikely to happen. i've got not got the time or the sanity to be a quick order cook dinner. while my 7 12 months old became around 3 or 4, the difficulty began. She used to stay along with her mom till the age of four while we've been granted finished custody. Her tactic became to not consume what became given to her and then scream like a lunatic that she became starving while we'd bypass a McDonalds. we actually gave the effect of mom and father of the 12 months on those days. "seem at those undesirable mom and father! supply that baby a satisfied meal!" Please. All she ever knew along with her mom became "might you like fries with that?" besides, we used to tension her to consume what became given to her. That meant the two making her sit down there for hours till she ate or easily hand feeding her. the only reason we did this is because of the fact as suggested, if she did not consume what we gave her (which became ninety% of the time) she might have extreme temper tantrums interior the shop. I mean yelling like a psychotic baby that we ought to feed her. And the only factor that would desire to feed her extreme starvation became poultry nuggets from McDs. We fielded some calls from DCFS from purchasers questioning we've been starving her. Now she is 7 and remains a very choosy eater. the only factor (and that i mean the only factor) that she easily likes is pizza, poultry nuggests from McD and as quickly as in awhile tacos. frequently conversing, we enable her to consume as much as she needs of what we supply her. yet except she eats all of what we've given her, she will possibly not consume something till the subsequent supper time. in any different case, she might refuse to consume something that we made and demand on snacks throught the day as a replace. and that i'm very lenient if she has eaten all of her nutrition. She has merely approximately unfastened reign to something interior the refrigerator. (ninety seven% of what i purchase is healthful besides) This has labored splendidly. I wish it had labored while she became 4 nonetheless. good success.
