Picky Eating Is Genetic??

September 9, 2008 · 3 Comments

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.
