Tomatoes taste SUPER SUPER sour to me. almost as bad as tear jerkers. Fruit tastes the same way. my parents never forced me to eat anything I didn't want to, but I had to take two bites before I said no.

If i try to force myself to eat something I don't like or eat more after I'm full(because i often eat small portions) I will puke. I almost choked to death trying to force myself. :/

I WISH I loved food. But I don't. I'm picky, stuff tastes really strange to me.

Think about it. Our hearing and eyesight is different. We see things differently, sometimes in different or incorrect colors. Some people are more sensitive to bright light than others. It makes sense that a person's other senses... like taste... would vary as well.

But if I am an alien... that means D gets hot alien sex! :D SHOW ME MORE OF THIS EARTH THING CALLED KISSING.

Yeah, supertasters are legitimate. My mother and brother (most of my living/dead maternal male relatives, actually) are supertasters. I've also sat some kids who were supertasters -- it's not being picky or whiny. The food tastes GROSS to them. It'd be like eating spoiled foods.

Me, I was the human garbage disposal and love most foods... especially veggies. Nom nom nom. But my mother has never eaten a raw vegetable in her life; they're repulsive to her. She'd cook them for me when I asked. (Her health is fine, and she makes sure to get regular colonoscopies. She's actually better off than the rest of us.) Ingredients aren't the same as raw single-foods, too; she was a great cook and would cook with pretty much anything but vinegar.

I think curry was actually the meal we had most growing up; I'd just add peas to mine.

I'm actually fairly passionate about NOT forcing people to eat things that smell bad to them. Just... why? It doesn't make sense to me to make someone eat something foul, and in fact, my husband has a whole litany

What KILLED ME the most about my stepmother and sister is that BOTH of them were thin and in relatively good health. (Minus the chain-smoking, epilepsy, MSbP, and eating disorders...)

My main beef (hurr) is with parents that enable bad behavior because they "don't want a fuss." I.E. letting their kid exist soley on junk food because they throw a screaming fit otherwise. I think the reason my mom's family had success getting the kids to eat was pairing new stuff with food they knew we would eat.

There are a lot of things I can't stand now because I was forced to eat them by sitters, day cares, or other family members. (boiled eggs, peanut butter and jelly, vienna sausage/potted meat, etc)

Oh and I feel you on the puke thing, Bats. SO MUCH.
