Picky eaters are childish and need to grow up

[CZroe]

Sure there are things my kids don't like. My daughter hates taco's. so we have them when she ain't around. My son will eat damn near anything.

Other then the taco's i can't think of anything my kids won't eat.

My nephew though. My SIL only gives him hot dogs. they buy them in bulk and whenever go over they always have them. the rest of the family is eating grilled burgers/steaks/chicken whatever. he is having boiled hotdogs..

it's a pain in the ass when he stays the night. last few times i refused to even have hotdogs in the house. He did eat the saled and chicken we had.

as a adult? suck it up.

I hope the kid isn't malnourished. D:

That's also a child's view of adulthood. "Being an adult means I get to do whatever I want however I want and no one can make me do anything!"

These children were also taught incorrectly that it's "wrong" for other people to judge you and that they shouldn't care what other people think.

Wat? I'm sorry I'm not a moron who just shoves everything in my mouth, regardless of if I enjoy it or not. Beggars can't be choosers, and I ain't no beggar. If someone gifts me some food with a bunch of ketchup on it, I will politely decline.

Wasting food was drilled into me early in life.

I still watch my wife over that one, she has gotten much better about it.

Just throwing food away is a bad thing, if you're not going to eat it, don't accept it more or less.

As far as being picky I never have been I guess, had my grandfather and a friend of his teaching my brother and I to eat raw oysters down here in the mid 70's when we were young. Even how to know of they were fresh ones, or faked.

Some places used to just wash the shells and put canned ones in them.

And they'll think less of you for doing that. If you get to be picky, I get to hate you for it.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I'm a picky eater, but just like everything else (religion, politics, sex, etc) there's always a polite, subtle way of handling things. That guy was an idiot, and you can tell him I said it.

Although when I'm in public I usually get over my picky habits and just deal with it, unless I'm afraid the food will actually make me sick.

My daughter hates eggs and this is exactly why once in a while we make eggs and tell her to toughen up, quit whining, and eat them.

No one needs to cater to your likes and dislikes and, in the name of common courtesy, once in a while you just need to suck it up and eat something you don't care for.

Your telling us to optionally face revulsion.
To fight our gag reflex and for what, your own desire of right and wrong?

And then the aftertaste that persists for hours.

Garlic is the same way, but it's added to so many things.
Nasty stuff.

You don't like onions AND garlic?

seppuku bro.

You will CHILDISHLY decline and CHILDISHLY waste more money getting something else to eat because you CHILDISHLY can't tolerate something that doesn't perfectly align with your CHILDISHLY STRICT preferences.

So now you characterize adults who don't let their childish impulses control them as just carelessly shoving everything in their mouth. If you know it's not going to kill you and that everything that enters your mouth doesn't have to be for maximum enjoyment, then you have no excuse.

I was eating with friends at Steak and Shake in my early twenties and one friend brought an obese teenage stoner "gangstah" kid we barely knew ("dad's girlfriend's son" or something). We were going over the menu and he started announcing to us all that he won't eat any fruits or vegetables because he "f**king hates that crap." He went on talking about his likes/dislikes until it was clear that if it wasn't dessert/candy or fatty/deep-fried meats/starches and that he was DAMNED proud of it. I made sure to use my peer pressure to shame him by telling him to grow up and pointing out that it was like a kid growing up and declaring that he/she only likes candy and will only eat candy.

Clearly, it's doesn't have to be as enjoyable as candy/dessert for you to eat it, but you've set an similarly arbitrary line when you think you have to enjoy every aspect to put something in your stomach and will reject it over one little detail.

It's not something to be proud of yet people flock to these threads to declare it.

Adults sometimes have to act like adults. Being grossed out to the point of having a gag reflex just because it has an ingredient you don't prefer is childish. No one is saying you have to eat snails, but rejecting food because it has one little thing you don't like about it and then bragging about that is not the same.

 

[smackababy]

They can think whatever they want. I don't give a shit. If you don't like something, there is no reason to eat it.

Another character flaw.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

There's no problem with being a picky eater with all the trash that passes for food these days. And this guy's problem isn't that he's a picky eater, it's that he's an asshole.

I don't eat red meat, I'm not an asshole about it, and there's nothing childish about it either.

Purchasing food you don't like is fucking moronic. If you don't like mushrooms, you don't order them on your pizza. You don't do it because you don't want to be a picky eater.

I have a job and I have money. I can order my own damn food to my liking. When I can't afford to buy my own food, I will eat shit I don't like that is given to me.

With that said, I don't have a stupid stipulation of "I hate vegetables" or something stupid like that. If I haven't had it before or haven't had that prepared in that certain way, I totally will try it.

Another character flaw.

If you live your life because you care what stupid people think of you, that is a character flaw. I don't care if people think I am a picky eater.

Fuck onions, fuck Mushrooms, fuck beans of any sort. I'm not going to be a dick and make a fuss, but I won't eat those under any circumstances. AND FUCK people who aren't picky eaters that want to make it one of their life goal to help me "see the light"

Your opinions about "oh, you just haven't had them made correctly" are bullshit. You cannot prepare an onion or mushroom or beans in a way I'd like, not even in a way I'd eat begrudgingly. I really do appreciate the passion you have for your favorite foods, but they don't apply to me.

Picky whiner. Can't handle stuff you don't like.

Meanwhile, I suck it up and eat stuff I don't like. But you...you're too special for that.

 

[Childs]

agreed. Though, if it was mayo and not onions, I would have tossed the open sandwich into the rep's face, because they would have deserved it.

Un-labeled mayo should be a federal offense.

Mayo makes everything better. My aunt makes a chocolate cake made with mayo, and its awesome!

I was with you up until this.

And here, you go full retard. Even the difference of raw vs cooked onion is a huge one. To think you wouldn't enjoy something regardless of how it was prepared is vastly ignorant.

That is the proper attitude if you want your guests to get sick... A lot of foods humans eat will flat out kill almost every other animal commonly around us. A lot of the responses come from a result of evolution. I mean some might like the taste of poison since eating relatives of, Atropa belladonna is clearly a natural thing. However, it turns out some individuals are sensitive to the taste of alkaloids which causes them to have issues eating several common agricultural products. Onions and garlic can and will kill pets that people have, individuals with liver damage and some infants and are significant irritants to to the rest on contact with any membranes.

From personal experience their are certian foods where on consumption my body violently rejects them even if I know they aren't likely to be poisonous. It's is very easy to judge when one doesn't have that issue...

Without me having to put on an act to show how much I dislike something. The smell of Broccoli physically makes my gag reflexes kick in. It's about in line with what smelling Liver and onions does to me.

Picky whiner. Can't handle stuff you don't like.

I want to enjoy life while I'm here, call me crazy. Lucky for me 99% of people can't cook so I wouldn't want to eat their food even if it didn't contain any ingredients I disliked.

Why would you suck it up and eat stuff you don't like? I'd rather savor every bite along with a lovely craft beer to enhance the meal. But hay, that's just me. You enjoy eating shit you don't even like for the sake of sucking it up.

You do realize that you and your brother are whining far more than anyone else in this thread, right?

At least they are not stuck with Mayne constraints, and can spam threads with their crap incessantly until whoever they are "debating" cedes the point just to move on.

If your happiness requires me to eat something I don't want, you've got issues.
