Why do picky eaters add a food then regress?

Why does a picky eater add a food then regress?

I had a super exciting end to last week being up in Auckland for media appearances to talk about Winner Winner I Eat Dinner. Interviews can be a little frustrating if the interviewer doesn’t really understand picky eating as questions can miss the mark. When this happens, it can mean that we spend a lot of time talking about generalities or get off topic. However, not this time!

I was interviewed for two TV chat shows and one morning radio show. The questions put together for each of the three interviews were amazing. Why? Because each of the three had a host with a seriously picky eater.

I was so excited to be able to talk about real challenges and feel like I could add value. Each of the interviews went over time and two of them (pre-recorded) will have to be edited as we got so immersed in the topic.

Although excited, it also brought home to me what a huge problem fussy eating is for parents. Three shows, and three families where food is a real challenge. The hosts were almost apologetic for using their show to get information that may help them with their own children. But why wouldn’t you if this is such a stressful problem to deal with?
