I have one niece that won't eat any vegetables at all
( apart from potatoes, and only then when they are converted into chips )
I have another niece who won't eat any fruit. When I point out the inherent irrationality of that, in that all fruit looks, and tastes differently, I am just met with a sulky smirk.
Both girls are in the 20's.
In my opinion, all this is the fault of the parents, who indulged their kids from a very early age. When I was growing up, we had to eat whatever was put in front us....silly fussiness just wasn't acceptable.

I was never 'made' to eat anything, ummmm - and wouldn't suggest that it's a good idea do that.
It's just that money was tight when I was growing up, and therefore food options were limited - if I didn't want to eat what my mum had cooked then it was probably just toast as an alternative - so I tended to just go with what was on offer and consequently have very few quibbles
... except kidneys, they really are (still) offal ...

Smowy....not in my house she wouldn't !
melv...the very idea of eating your dinner or going hungry seems to be completely absent these days.
The reality is that if you give a small child a variety of foods to try, they will grow up to eat most things.
At the age of 64, I am still not keen on sprouts or liver, but I struggle to think of anything else that I don't like.

Prick & Ping, Talbot?
No microwave meals in this house.
ummmm
Making kids eat food can have a negative effect.
Yes it can but so can letting them eat what they like.
Lazy parents who think the only way to cook veg is to boil the *** of it are at fault. Most kids don't like boiled cauli and boiled cabbage etc. Even as an adult there is nothing more off putting than a plate of mush covered in gravy.
