I was considered a picky eater when I was a child. When I grew up, I concluded that there were two reasons why I was picky about food when I was a child:

Someone is in charge of what you eat.

I grew up eating my mother’s cooking.

Ever since I was little, my mother has been in charge of my food. Because someone is taking care of you, you know that you will never be hungry. If it doesn't suit your appetite, you can make a fuss and refuse to eat. Mom is afraid that you will be hungry, so she will make you food that suits your appetite, so you can Be as picky as you want. And because you can't be hungry at all, you have never experienced the feeling of hunger, and you have never felt the mood you feel when you encounter food when you are hungry, and you will not cherish food, so you will naturally be picky.

Eat a single type of food.

My mother lost her mother when she was young. She taught herself how to cook, and she usually likes to stay at home, so she has never seen many of the dishes. She has never even seen them, so how can she cook them. Therefore, since I was a child, I have eaten a relatively simple diet. What I like to eat are the ones my mother is good at. I won’t lie to you at all. Before I went to high school, I had never eaten Mushu persimmons because my mother had never made them. So the first time I ate Mushu persimmons, I found them hard to swallow. . It is very common for people not to eat it when they grow up because they have never eaten it as a child. This is also one of the reasons why many people are picky eaters. Because they have never eaten it before, they are not used to it and therefore do not like to eat it.

But the reason why I am no longer picky about food is basically related to these two reasons:

No one cares about what you eat anymore.

During the Spring Festival after I graduated from college, I was in Nanning. I had no money in my pocket and the restaurants outside were not open, so I had to cook it at home. But I don’t know how to cook. I remember the first time I cooked it seemed to be Mushu persimmon soup and I ate steamed buns. I remember that time, I overcooked the Mushu persimmon soup and it was salty and unpalatable, but I gritted my teeth and ate it, firstly because it was the fruit of my own labor and I had to respect myself, and secondly because I'm hungry. If I don't drink, I won't have anything to eat. After being hungry a few times, the picky eating problem is basically cured. When I encounter food in the future, I will be very happy because I can finally fill my stomach. As for whether it tastes good or not, whether I like it or not is secondary.

Have eaten food from a foreign land

When I first entered college, I ate all the food in Nanning. After eating instant noodles for half a month, I really couldn’t eat it. After going down, I tried to eat in Nanning. By the time I left Nanning, I was used to eating most foods, including sweet tofu pudding, bitter melon, and sour ones. I feel that eating is actually just a habit, but for some reason you are forced to get used to eating foods that you have never been exposed to. As time goes by, you get used to it and you no longer are picky about food. I am a living example. .

Now, I order takeout from Meituan, Ele.me, and Baidu every day at noon. In order to maintain the habit of not being picky about food, I usually eat from house to house and read the reviews before eating. If the reviews are okay, I'll just order it. The longer I do this, the less picky I become. Sometimes I will comment on it in a serious way, talking about which meals are delicious, why they are delicious, how they taste, etc. Maybe one day, I will Maybe you can become a food delivery expert.
