Are children naturally picky? It sure seems that way. Yet, amazingly, pickiness used to be almost nonexistent. Well into the 20th century, Americans saw children as joyful omnivores who were naturally curious and eager to eat. Of course, this doesn't make sense today. Don't kids have special taste buds? Aren't they highly sensitive to food's texture and color? Aren't children incapable of liking “adult foods,” and don't parents risk harming kids psychologically by urging them to eat?But Americans in the past didn't think any of those things. They assumed that children could enjoy the same foods as adults, and children almost always did. They loved spicy relishes, vinegary pickles, and bitter greens. They spent their allowances on raw oysters and looked forward to their daily coffee. So how did modern kids become such incredibly narrow eaters? The story is fascinating – and about much more than rising abundance. Picky: How American Children Became the Fussiest Eaters in History (St Martin's Press, 2026) by Dr. Helen Veit shows how fussy eating came to define "children's food" and reshape American diets at large. Maybe most importantly, it explains how we can still use the tools that parents used in the past to raise happy, healthy, wildly un-picky kids today. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

J&J get into a recent article where they mention dating has become a luxury in 2026! From $20 coffee dates to the hidden “pink tax” women pay just to get ready, maybe it really is too expensive to date these days. Then they break down Bumble's new AI matchmaker “Bumblebee,” why Jared thinks dating apps are just slot machines for lonely men, and whether AI is making modern dating even more fake. Plus, an “Icky or Picky” email about a college guy admitting he masturbates to a match's profile photo sparks a surprisingly nuanced conversation about dating expectations, sexual honesty, and learning how to date in your 20s. Later, they unpack a marriage conflict years in the making after a husband still hasn't read his wife's wedding vows, and why “testing” your partner instead of communicating never works.

Picky: How American Children Became the Fussiest Eaters in History By: Helen Zoe Veit Published: 2026 304 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? Stop me if you've heard this one… Up until the beginning of the 20th century we never ever did this one thing, and then starting in the 20th century attitudes and culture gradually changed until now, this very new thing, that basically never existed historically, is accepted as a fact of life. For this go-around it's children being picky about food. The whole concept only began to emerge in the 1930s and back then it was just used to identify something that needed to be corrected. Like lying, swearing, or truancy, it wasn't until after World War II that the modern "something we have to work around" usage started to solidify.  This book is the story of why things changed and what we can do to reverse that change. What authorial biases should I be aware of? This is not a disinterested academic overview of things. Veit thinks that pickiness is a bad thing, that it's tied to consumption of "junk food", obesity, and a general culture of overconsuming food. The 19th-century child eating raw oysters and organ meats could be considered the hero of the story, the entire edifice of modern food dysfunction is the dragon, and the 21st-century child who eats nothing but hyperpalatable, low-nutrition snacks, and then is too full for normal meals is the princess in need of saving.  Who should read this book? I think people who have picky kids and worry about whether that's a problem would definitely benefit from reading this book.  I enjoyed it because I'm always fascinated by the strange transitions of modernity. Should you fall into that bucket you'll probably enjoy it as well.  What does the book have to say about the future?

Picky eating, big emotions, and constant mealtime battles can leave even the most patient moms feeling overwhelmed. When nothing seems to work, it's easy to assume it's behavioural, but often there's something deeper going on. I am talking to paediatric occupational therapist and parent coach Effie Pomaki about how sensory processing and nervous system regulation impact how kids eat, behave, and respond to daily routines. We cover practical, realistic strategies to reduce mealtime stress, support emotional regulation, and help your child feel more comfortable in their body. Effie and I talk about: How sensory processing affects your child's ability to eat, focus, and regulate emotions Why picky eating is often linked to texture, smell, and visual sensitivities How to identify patterns in your child's preferred foods to expand variety How to introduce sensory play in a low-pressure, child-led way Why food play outside of mealtimes reduces anxiety and increases exposure How to support kids who feel anxious about trying new foods How to use play and silliness to reduce power struggles and increase cooperation Why connection and safety are essential for learning and behaviour Effie Pomaki is a paediatric occupational therapist and parent coach specializing in sensory processing, emotional regulation, and child development. She helps parents understand their child's behaviour through a nervous system lens and provides practical strategies to support daily routines. Effie works with families one-on-one and shares tools and resources to help children feel more regulated, confident, and capable.

Picky eating is not something parents simply have to "deal with." There are strategies they can use to help expand the diets of their children. In this episode of the Soaring Child podcast, Dana Kay sits down with ADHD Thrive Institute coach Andrea Daigle to unpack what's really behind picky eating. You'll learn why some kids rely on "safe foods," how texture sensitivity and digestion issues can drive food resistance, and why forcing bites may actually make things worse. You'll also discover that many children with ADHD who struggle at the dinner table are actually responding to deeper biological signals. Andrea shares simple, practical strategies parents can start using immediately—including the powerful "add, don't subtract" method and the easy-to-implement cheese grater strategy that helps expand your child's diet without triggering overwhelm. If mealtimes feel like a daily battle, this episode will give you a new perspective and a clear, compassionate path forward.

"We can't change picky eating for a child whose body is uncomfortable." "Zinc deficiency… changes the way that you taste food." "We want to look at all the pieces of the puzzle."

"Picky eater" is one of the most common labels in pediatrics and one of the easiest to overlook. But when a child's diet is shrinking instead of expanding, when meals are a source of stress instead of routine, or when growth and nutrition start to feel like a question mark, it's worth taking a second look. In this episode, we're discussing ARFID: what it looks like in clinic, how to spot the difference from typical picky eating, and how to approach these patients with a sharper clinical lens. In this episode, we are joined by Kimberly Sheffield, PhD. She is an eating disorders psychologist at Children's Hospital Colorado, as well as the Clinical Director of Pediatric Mental Health Institute (PMHI) day programs, and the Associate Training Director for Psychology Training.  Some highlights from this episode include: Specific growth or nutrition patterns that should raise suspicion of ARFID Treatment options pediatricians can manage in clinic  Overlap between ARFID and neurodiversity   Patterns to look for in certain age groups  This episode is underwritten by Ent Credit Union, proud supporter of Charting Pediatrics and Children's Hospital Colorado.

Dry dropper is great. Just put a nymph under that dry fly and get the best of both worlds. Right? Not so fast . . .The idea that you can have your cake and eat it too — that you'll get perfect drifts on the dry fly and the nymph — and that you somehow double your chances by dropping a nymph under the dry is not true. This is the big lie of dry dropper fishing.Here's the problem: In most cases, neither fly ends up with a great drift. Instead, both flies are compromised and their natural drift is altered. Picky trout don't buy sub-par drifts, so you'll only pick up the occasional lucky trout.But we can have good fishing with a dry dropper rig. It's a go to choice for a many anglers, and it's one of our favorite ways to fish a river.The point here is to acknowledge the problems with a dry dropper system — the inherent drawback — so we can then specifically deal with them or even get rid of them altogether. Know the problem and try to solve it.My good friends Bill Dell, Trevor Smith, Josh Darling, Austin Dando and Matt Grobe are here with me to talk about . . . the big lie of dry dropper.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Three Styles of Dry DropperPODCAST: Troutbitten | Three Styles of Dry Dropper - Dry Dropper Skills SeriesVisitTroutbitten WebsiteTroutbitten InstagramTroutbitten YouTubeTroutbitten FacebookThanks to TroutRoutes:Use the code TROUTBITTEN for 20% off your membership athttps://maps.troutroutes.com Thanks to SkwalaUse the code, TROUTBITTEN10 for 10% off your order athttps://skwalafishing.com/

Food is more than what's on the plate—it shapes how our families think about gratitude, choice, and contentment. In this episode, the team talks picky eating, dessert debates, and how different approaches to food play out at home.

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy sits down with Dr. Theoharis Theoharides — Professor of Clinical Immunology and Executive Director of the Center for Excellence in Neuroinflammation Research — to dig into a topic that's finally getting the attention it deserves: multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) and its deep connection to mast cell activation. Dr. Theoharides explains what actually happens in the immune system when the body is exposed to everyday chemicals — from perfume and jet fuel to formaldehyde in clothing and mycotoxins in food. He walks through the biology of mast cells, why stress dramatically lowers your chemical reaction threshold, and why so many patients go undiagnosed or are dismissed as "just sensitive." Haylie brings her own personal experience with chemical sensitivity and autoimmune disease to the conversation, making this one of the most candid and clinically rich discussions we've had on the show. Whether you've been told your symptoms are in your head, or you've quietly suspected that your environment is making you sick, this episode is for you. Tune in to Fast Metabolism Matters — and finally get the science to back up what your body has been telling you all along.   Dr. Theoharis Theoharides is a Professor, Vice Chair of Clinical Immunology, and Director at the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine-Clearwater, an Adjunct Professor of Immunology at Tufts School of Medicine, where he was a Professor of Pharmacology and Internal Medicine, and also the  Director of Molecular Immunopharmacology & Drug Discovery, and Clinical Pharmacologist at the Massachusetts Drug Formulary Commission (1983-2022). He received his BA, MS, MPhil, PhD, and MD degrees and the Winternitz Price in Pathology from Yale University and received a Certificate in Global Leadership from Tufts Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and a Fellowship at Harvard Kennedy  School of Government. He trained in internal medicine at New England Medical Center, which awarded him the Oliver Smith Award, "recognizing excellence, compassion, and service." Dr. Theoharides has 485 publications (46,491 citations; h-index 106), placing him in the world's top 2% of most cited authors, and he was rated the worldwide expert on mast cells by Expertscape. He was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha National Medical Honor Society, the Rare Diseases Hall of Fame, and the World Academy of Sciences.

In today's episode, we pulled your real-life roadblocks straight from Instagram and got to work. From getting sick on repeat, to chaotic schedules, required work lunches, picky partners, and full-on life overwhelm, we walked through what's actually getting in your way and how to navigate it without burning everything down every time life gets hard. Because the truth is, these aren't rare struggles… they're the norm.This conversation is less about perfect plans and more about realistic execution. We talk about adjusting your expectations instead of abandoning your goals, using a “dimmer switch” approach instead of all-or-nothing thinking, and building a minimum standard of care you can fall back on when life inevitably throws curveballs. This is how you stay consistent in real life, not in ideal conditions.If you've ever felt like your progress keeps getting derailed by sickness, your schedule, your family, or just sheer exhaustion - this episode will help you stop starting over and start adapting.“You need to have when shit hits the fan, a plan b, that is simple and realistic and doable, and okay.”- Amy Rudolph“The dial doesn't have to ever be off completely.”- Iris DeadliftsThis week on Capable & Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:Why getting sick isn't a reason to panic - and how to adjust without losing progressHow the “dimmer switch” mindset helps you stay consistent during hard seasonsSimple ways to navigate family meals without cooking separate dinnersWhy “bars & bowls” (taco bars, salad bars, etc.) are a game changer for busy householdsHow to audit your time and uncover where you actually do have space for your goalsCreating a “when shit hits the fan” plan so you're never starting from zeroHow to handle work lunches and happy hours without self-sabotagingWhy unpredictable schedules don't mean you're out of control - and how to plan anyway Connect with Us:Iris Deadlifts on InstagramAmy Rudolph on InstagramWork with us at Beth Feraco FitnessThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

What if picky eating and impulsive ADHD behavior aren't separate problems at all—but signals coming from the same biological root? In a special milestone for the podcast — our 200th episode of The Soaring Child Podcast — Dana Kay explains how nutrient deficiencies can directly affect the brain systems responsible for focus, emotional regulation, impulse control, and sleep. Iron supports dopamine production. Magnesium and B6 calm the nervous system. Zinc shapes taste perception. Omega-3s carry the brain's messages. And vitamin D helps regulate serotonin and sleep cycles. When these nutrients are depleted, the brain struggles to function properly. The result can look like impulsivity, hyperactivity, emotional outbursts, sleep struggles, and extreme picky eating. Dana shares the story of a young boy expelled from four preschools whose behavior transformed after severe nutrient deficiencies were identified and supported. This episode helps parents understand how what looks like "behavior" may actually be a biological signal. Dana walks listeners through the nutrients most commonly involved in ADHD regulation, the signs that the brain may be running on empty, and how parents can begin identifying which biological stressors may be affecting their child.

They're the same conversation happening in different rooms." "What if the brain isn't being difficult? What if it's just hungry?" "A brain that's running on empty cannot do manners, patience or waiting turns." "When the brain is starving, no amount of behavioral strategies will actually feed the brain." "These nutrients are literally the wiring for the brain." "You can parent beautifully, but if that fuel is not there, their system stalls." "You're asking a Ferrari to run on cordial." "A hungry brain cannot be polite." "Feed the brain and the behavior follows." DANA KAY RESOURCES

If you are a Christian single, chances are you have asked yourself this question at least once: Am I too picky? Maybe you have turned down several potential relationships. Maybe friends or family have told you your standards are too high. Maybe you are watching other people get married while you are still praying, waiting, and wondering if your expectations are the problem. It is an honest question, and it deserves an honest answer.

This week on U Up?, Jared is joined by Aleen Dreksler, CEO and co-founder of BETCHES, for a chaotic and honest deep dive into mama drama, ex etiquette, and career vs. kids debates. They discuss boundaries with mother-in-laws and what you can negotiate versus when you should just say nope, covering everything from holiday turf wars to posting your baby on Instagram without permission. Then it's petty or prudent when an ex crashes a run club and sends a seriously annoying “it'll get easier over time” text. Plus, an Icky or Picky ruling on a second date who announces a strict “no phones at the table” policy like he's running a dictatorship. Be sure to not miss updates from Jordana!

I've been thinking a lot about how we talk about food, bodies, and health with our kids…and with ourselves. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lauren Hartman to explore how parents can model kindness, trust their instincts, and help kids develop a healthy relationship with food without shame or rules. We talk about movement, social media, high sugar foods, and the small daily choices that shape how children experience their bodies. Whether you're navigating mealtimes, worried about eating habits, or just want practical ways to support your child's well-being, this conversation is full of insights you can actually use. We also touch on early intervention, balancing nutrition with life's realities, and why rest, self-compassion, and awareness can make all the difference. → Leave Us A Voice Message!  Topics Discussed: → How do I spot teen eating disorders? → Picky eating vs ARFID → What causes eating disorders in teens? → How should parents talk about food? → When should I worry about eating?

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're back with pediatrician Dr. Ari Brown for the ultimate 411 on toddler nutrition and eating habits—from starting solids at 6 months to navigating picky eating without turning dinner into a power struggle. We break down why “food before 1 is just for fun” isn't actually true, the best first foods to introduce (it's NOT what you think!), and the biggest choking hazards parents need to watch for—plus how to tell gagging vs. choking in the moment. Dr. Ari also walks us through allergy basics (when to intro + what reactions actually look like), when to ditch the bottle, what a normal toddler day of eating really looks like, and how to think about macros (or honestly… not think about them too much—if your child eats a variety of foods over the week, they're probably doing just fine). Then we get into the things parents are constantly worrying about: sugar before 2, red dye, ultra-processed “kid foods,” and why toddlers randomly reject foods they used to love. Finally, we cover picky eating red flags, “safety foods,” and the #1 mealtime mistake that actually makes picky eating worse. Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! (feat.

Apology: Helen Veit's audio has a lot of “ducking”, in which a word or multiple words were clipped. This happened during the recording, and cannot be fixed in the audio edit. We'll work hard to make sure this never happens again.In nineteenth-century America, cookbook authors, concerned doctors, and food reformers believed that children had a problem with food. Children, reformers worried, would “eat anything and everything.” If they were to grow into healthy adults, they needed a special diet—“children's food”—which meant that for the first time in human history children would have to eat differently from everyone else.That moment was one step along a path that my guest Helen Zoe Veit traces in her new book Picky: How American Children Became the Fussiest Eaters in History. Beginning in a mid-nineteenth century world in which children routinely ate oysters, organ meats, sauerkraut, and richly spiced dishes alongside adults, she carries the story forward to our own moment—an era of childhood obesity, nutritional anxiety, supermarket abundance, and the widespread assumption that children are “food rejectors by nature.” But as Veit argues, mass childhood pickiness is not deeply biological. It is overwhelmingly cultural. And culture, unlike biology, can change.Helen Zoe Veit is Associate Professor of History at Michigan State University. She specializes in American food history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and is the author and editor of numerous works on food, morality, and culture. Picky is her latest book.Chapters0:00 - Introduction 3:02 - 19th Century Children Ate Everything 5:30 - Mark Twain and Edith Wharton's Childhoods 14:02 - Why Doctors Were Concerned 24:20 - The First Signs of Pickiness in the 1930s 33:18 - Benjamin Spock and Clara Davis 45:51 - The Supermarket Revolution 52:16 - Parental Guilt and Contradictory Advice 1:00:15 - Solutions and Hope for Change 1:07:59 - Why Food History Matters

When men get sick with a cold or the flu, do they actually suffer more than women — or just complain louder? Some fascinating research suggests there may be real biological differences in immune response between the sexes, which could explain the infamous “man cold.” I break down what scientists have discovered and what it really means. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29229663/ Picky eating feels normal today — separate meals for kids at the dinner table is often the norm. But it wasn't always this way. For most of history, children ate what adults ate or they didn't eat at all. Helen Zoe Veit, award-winning historian, associate professor at Michigan State University, and author of Picky: How American Children Became the Fussiest Eaters in History (https://amzn.to/3OolXKY) explains how and why picky eating became so common, the serious problems it creates — and why it doesn't have to be that way. Will artificial intelligence make us intellectually lazy — or is it about to unleash a new wave of human potential? Zack Kass, one of OpenAI's first 100 employees and author of The Next Renaissance: AI and the Expansion of Human Potential (https://amzn.to/3MoYM2I) argues that tools like ChatGPT are only scratching the surface. He explains why AI may not replace human thinking but amplify it — if we use it wisely. People form powerful judgments about you within seconds of seeing your online profile photo. Are you trustworthy? Competent? Approachable? Research shows the ideal expression isn't a huge grin or a stone-cold stare but something more nuanced — and getting it right can influence how others perceive you professionally and socially. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rogerdooley/2025/04/02/should-you-smile-in-your-profile-photo-heres-what-research-shows/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!

Filled with bite-sized, actionable advice, toddler tips, behavior red flags, and real-world scripts, the book blends developmental science with real life to empower parents to navigate the ups and downs of toddlerhood with more calm and connection.  Devon's diverse experience ranges from coaching parents to being a former high-profile nanny, and to even managing an orphanage in Rwanda.
