Hi I'm Starr and I am 62 and been a picky since I was very young. When I was very young I remember being tied to a chair with a dish towel around my waist and force fed different foods to get me to try them. Ended up getting sick every time. There are so many times I have been made fun of by family coworkers and so called friends I avoid get together as much as possible. I've given up trying new food unless it is something I want try. I would rather not eat then be singled out to make me something different. I've been excluded from family get togethers because per family I wouldn't eat anything any way. So glad this site exists. Thank you.
