My son, Taylor just turned 19 this year and is a picky eating adult. He has lived his whole life as a “picky eater.” That’s what people called him when he was younger when they found out he didn’t eat meat, or fruit or vegetables.. or even pizza or hamburgers! Their mouths would fall open and they would be shocked! I would try to explain to them that he had been that way his whole life, even when he was a baby. I would put a tiny bit of meat baby food under rice cereal and fruit flavored baby food and he would ALWAYS catch me and spit it out. Every time. My mom and I have tried over the years to introduce Mac and cheese to him. Nope, didn’t want it. I knew he has some sort of what I only knew to call an “eating disorder”. But there were no answers to find. His pediatricians didn’t seem to care because he was healthy. He never got sick. His MAIN FOOD, his FAVORITE FOOD, the only HOT FOOD he eats until this day are French fries. He even told me a few months back that there is a name for his “eating disorder”. I was so glad he had a name to validate the way he eats so when the negative people would poo poo his eating habits he could tell them what was true. And now that my mom shared the French Fry Lady’s story with me I too can let my husband, Taylor’s step dad know what’s true . I want to thank you all for being here for my son and anybody else struggling to try to be “normal “. Taylor and everyone struggling like him are worthy, precious and beautiful just the way they are right now!
