I know my ex-DIL trained my grandson as a baby to be a picky eater.
You know those faces that babies make when they taste something new?
Every time she saw it, she would stop feeding him whatever it was.
It's taken a long time to turn that kid around (son has full custody).
He's still pretty picky, but what he likes is amazing. Take him for
sushi at a "boat place" and he's not only taking, but eating all sorts
of things. He's learning to eat vegetables (edamame beans were one of
his first "green" things), but he's not much of a meat eater.
