Picky Eating wird oft als „mäkelig“ abgetan. Dahinter steht aber eine starke sensorische Sensibilität gegenüber Textur, Geruch oder Geschmack.

ARFID ist dagegen eine anerkannte Essstörung. Hier geht es nicht um Körperbild oder Abnehmen, sondern um starke Vermeidung von Essen, fehlendes Hungergefühl oder Angst. Die Lebensmittelauswahl ist oft gefährlich eingeschränkt.

"At mealtimes, I squirmed in my seat, making excuses to escape. I hated milk in particular. I would not drink it cold, and could just barely get it down if it was warm, with honey stirred in, but not, of course, if it had developed a skin on top." —Irina Dumitrescu for Serious Eats

Parents are not to blame for their children’s picky eating, study finds

We give my son Pediasure, a chocolate shake drink to help kids grow. Our pediatrician originally recommended it. I just realized that it has stevia in it. I do not like non-sugar sweeteners. I feel like they reset taste preferences towards very sweet food. This is not good for a kid who already has trouble eating vegetables. That has been my anecdotal experience. Do you know if there are studies about this effect?
