French Kids Eat Everything [book]

msdivine26

I just finished reading French Kids Eat Everything. As a picky-eating adult, I read it to gain insight into WTF went wrong with me as a kid, and perhaps get some tips in how to adjust my eating habits from here forward.

Several times while reading I wanted to call or email my mother, to blame her and frustratingly demand to know why my parents hadn't taught me right about food.

But then I remembered that as I grew older, I was happy to be enabled by them and other adults. And even older, I continued to enable myself.

While I know some may have hated the book, or thought the author too whiny and that she saw French parents through rose-colored lenses, it was a perfect read for me.

And I'm already making changes to my thoughts about food, my neophobia, my shopping, cooking and eating habits. Yay.

Any other super-picky eaters out there? How does your picky eating affect your weight-loss goals and actions [and vice versa]? Any other books or resources to point to?
