Consider this your back-to-school episode! Time to shop for lunches and snacks, hoping we can find things that will appeal to our thoroughly picky children.
We know picky eaters exist. No one denies that, but is it “natural” for kids to be picky eaters? Is there a biological cause?
What if the answer is no?
Join us for a fascinating episode with author Helen Zoe Veit, who spent over a decade researching the eating habits of American children. The results will astound you.
And no, no one was forcing them to eat a wide variety of foods. American kids, historically, were famous for eating anything and everything and LOVING it.
So how did we get here? In her new book PICKY: HOW AMERICAN CHILDREN BECAME THE FUSSIEST EATERS IN HISTORY, Helen Zoe Veit has answers. It’s not just one cause–it’s many factors that have led to daily battles with trying to get kids to eat. One factor–surprise, surprise–might just be stories that parents have been told.
Even better, Helen Zoe Veit has great advice for parents who’d like to acclimate their kids to foods beyond chicken nuggets and french fries.
Along the way, Sonja finds a way to mention mushrooms, and Vanessa reminisces about eating entrails.
