Petition to please start viewing being a picky eater as something more akin to a disability than some kind of moral failing
Like come on do you really think people are just choosing to be picky eaters for no reason? That they want to be picky eaters? I'm a picky eater and I hate it. Trust me if I could flip a switch and suddenly have my taste buds like everything I don't currently I would in a heartbeat.
So many people will say "oh you just have to force yourself to eat something it's not that bad" like No You Don't Get It I genuinely would rather not eat than force myself to eat something I don't want to. I have chosen and will activately choose to eat nothing over eating something I don't like. I would rather feel sick from not eating than spend an entire meal resisting the urge to throw up.
I'm a pretty easy going person. I have brothers who tease me to no end and it doesn't bother me. I get made fun of for being short All The Time and I genuinely dont care, because I dont mind being short. But the one thing I can't stand is people making fun of me for being a picky eater. Or even just mentioning that I'm a picky eater. Like Yes I'm Aware. It Sucks. No Need To Rub It In. Please Stop.
Please please please be kinder to picky eaters. It's not something we can control, and we shouldn't have to be ridiculed for it.
Anyways sorry for the mini rant this is just one of the few things I can't stand and I'm so sick of it.
