If you had/have a kid who eats what they're given then count yourself lucky because they absolutely do not all do that. I'm a vegetarian (and a decent cook, as well as someone who generally enjoys vegetables and knows how to prepare them well instead of just boiling everything for 30 minutes) so our kids have been offered healthy, well cooked veg their whole life. Oldest wouldn't eat a bite of anything that wasnt a processed carbohydrate between the ages of 1.5 and 3.5. This often has absolutely nothing to do with the taste of the food and everything to do with power. "Just starve them out" works very specifically for kids aged like 3-4 because they're old enough to realise you mean business but too young to just get up in the night and eat half the pantry while you sleep, which older kids will do. Meanwhile 1-2yos will actually go hungry, be unable to sleep from hunger, will scream for hours because they're hungry and then probably, finally, eat something. But they will then repeat this process every single time you try to feed them that thing. It's honestly the easiest way to ensure they never willingly eat vegetables. If I were to offer parenting advice to someone with reluctant eaters it would be specifically not to force the issue and to simply model healthy eating yourself, always serve them the same stuff as yourself, get them involved in buying and cooking food, and generally just gently persist but never try to force them to eat stuff. Forcing the issue will create a complex where kids know that vegetables are something that they have to eat under duress and many will react against that even if they realise that they like the flavour and eat as little as possible. I did this myself until I was like 16. Also this all takes a lot of time, energy, mental load and money so it irks me no end when people get judgemental about parents of kids who are picky eaters. It's never as simple as "literally just cook them vegetables". You've got to be around at the right time to buy and cook fresh food, invest time and energy into thinking up different ways/recipes to present healthy food, have the time and energy to persist when a kid won't take a bite of something you just spent 45 minutes cooking, etc.

Way back in the 90s I went to a grade school in France (for a few weeks as a teacher's aid, not a student). The lunches provided were so good I still remember most of them, and the kids just took it as normal. Us Americans were dumbfounded, and then highly aggrieved when we returned to our lovely high school lunches with ketchup-as-a-vegetable.

bike tory posted:If you had/have a kid who eats what they're given then count yourself lucky because they absolutely do not all do that. Fantastic post. I was a picky kid because I have autism, and I once went two days without eating because my parents told me I couldn't eat anything until I ate my beans. After they got divorced, my BMI went from underweight to obese in three years. It didn't help that if I ever admitted to liking a food I previously hated, they'd try to "prove" I wasn't picky anymore and make a lot more foods that made me gag like beans, pierogies, fish, etc. Now I have binge eating disorder but I'm no longer obese.

Strom Cuzewon posted:Planet genetics is loving crazy too. They're just all over the place in how much DNA they have. Plants are quite frequently like “watch this poo poo” and they just double their genome. Now it’s like they have a dev codebase that they can screw around with, while their production codebase keeps them functional.

it's called whole genome duplication or polyploidisation and it's a loving nightmare to deal with yeah

our ancestors also underwent at least two whole genome duplications and subsequent rediploidisations btw, and it's relatively common in bony fish as well for some reason

I was a picky eater as a child because once I was an adult and tried all this poo poo I thought I didn't like it turned out that it was because my mom was a terrible cook who hated spices of any kind and thought that all meat should be cooked until black.

And yeah I remember learning about tetraploidy etc in undergrad bio and WTFing. Then I figured out how to use antimitotics to induce human cancer cells to octuple their DNA and then take lil confocal microscopy videos of them spazzing out, neat stuff

My mother’s recipe for chicken was to throw chicken breasts into a pan, lightly sprinkle them with salt and pepper and cook it until all moisture and flavor had evaporated. When I was fifteen I staged a kitchen coup and started cooking dinner because we all couldn’t stand her poo poo food anymore. Sounds like she used the old standby of "do a job you hate bad enough someone else does it" to teach you to cook
