I was asked a question on a podcast interview the other day that I've never been asked before - "WHY are there so many picky eaters these days?"It really does feel like it's an epidemic, far different than our childhood.What gives? I have 4 theories as to the underpinnings, and those lend a hand to create a playbook to avoid picky eating in your own kids if they're young enough to circumvent bad habits.That's GREAT news with MUCH hope!I'm going to be unpacking a lot of habits, expectations, and attitudes that can banish picky eating power struggles from your mealtimes during the FREE 5-day No More Picky Eating Challenge, starting tomorrow. We already have thousands of families on board, committing to making one small change each day so that they never again have to say, "I just want my kids to eat what I make!"Save your Seat! https://kidscookrealfood.com/pickychallengeIt has to be said of course that there are many biological root causes to picky eating too, and we'll dip our toe into that during the challenge as well.All are welcome! And I have over $3500 in prizes you could win!
