I came across an old article on Working Woman’s magazine about picky eaters. It was a surprise to me that, according to a research by the University College London, children who are fussy eaters is 78% genetic and 22% environmental.
I had no idea that being picky with food can be genetic??!! Does that mean that there’s a possibility that my daughter will be as picky with food as I am?? Yikes!! That’s what I’m trying to avoid.
I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to food. Here’s a few of my weird eating habits.
- I would eat a hotdog, but I refuse to eat a burger or any other meat inside a bun.
- I love strawberries, but only if I eat it as a fruit. Strawberry ice cream, cake, shake – I won’t eat it. It makes me nauseated.
I know it’s all in the head, but I can’t help it! Although I do try new things every year. Last week for example, I had my very first steak fajita at Chile’s……
…. actually I just ate the tortilla and the steak. I left the guacamole, cheese, sour cream and whatever else they put inside a fajita on the side.
Does anyone else have a weird eating habit or are extremely picky with food? Please share it with me by posting it on my comment box.

it sounds like you just like things a certain way, you know what you like and how you like. there is nothing wrong with you. everyone is different and just because you dont hear about it, everyone is picky to an extent, maybe not as intense as yours but they are, if they admit it or not. be you and dont feel like you are weird or should change your ways, good for you for knowing what you want and not being afraid to say hey im different!!!
