Balance of Food

Good news for those of us who suffered with being picky eaters. You might be able to blame your parents, or some other relative. This story in The New York Times goes into more detail. According to the report in the story, 78 percent is genetic and the other 22 percent environmental. While I was quite a picky eater, I'm not even in the same league as the kids in this story. I wasn't confined to colors or textures, though some textures threw me off. I would also argue that I would have liked more foods, as a kid, if my father hadn't been more concerned about expressing his anger than in helping a confused child like more foods.
