We have been battling these food issues since she was an infant and just thought she was the pickiest eater around. However, since I have been doing the research on supertasters, everything I've read is absolutely her! My question is this: I know what my daughter will not eat. What do supertasters eat? Right now (today), she will eat peanut butter, strawberry jelly (not jam), on white bread, no crust, grapes and pretzels for lunch. Breakfast is Grape nuts with organic milk and her vitamins. Dinner is always a toss up. I always try to make a chicken dish of some sort. However, she is very particular about that too. Even if I make the same chicken dish from one week to the next, she may eat it one week, but not the next time. She drowns all her meat in Ranch dressing or she won't eat it. She has never been on the growth chart for her age and height. She is extremely thin, which I have no problem with if I know she is healthy and strong. I would truly appreciate your thoughts on this topic. Any ideas on what I can feed her or at least have her try would be welcomed! Thank you so much, Susan 736451@blogcritics.org Thu, 31 Jul 2008 08:43:04 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/06/113238.php#comment-694751 I started to laugh when I started reading because this sounds like several of my 6 children not to mention their father. Thanks for helping me see that my hubby & kids aren't picky by choice. Now we can stop the dinner time war trying to get them to eat things they really can't stomach. 694751@blogcritics.org Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:24:15 EST
