Why am I such a picky eater? UGH!?
I'm very picky myself and it's because of chronically low zinc all these years. In my case due to eating too much refined sugar which caused insulin resistance and that lowered my zinc and magnesium levels. I have read due to sensory memory it's likely I'll remain picky but I now can add one more food item to my list - cooked carrots. Who knew eh? I used to hate carrots. :) The Trojan Horse Technique for Feeding Picky Eaters: http://devdelay.org/newsletter/articles/...

Do you hate picky eaters?
I'm a very picky eater. Because my parents and other people tried to force me to eat like a normal person, I stopped eating enough when I was kid and I was almost hospitalized. I also have a lot of emotional trauma from people trying to force me to eat food that caused me to gag and vomit. Don't let other people make you feel bad about what you choose to eat. Learn about how to eat healthy things that you like and take care of yourself, though. I was so afraid to try new foods because of everyone forcing things on me that it wasn't until I became an adult that I started learning how to take care of my body. Don't let other people get in the way of your health or happiness.

My 2 1/2 year old very bad picky eater?
To a large extent, it is probably the age. A lot of toddlers and preschoolers become picky eaters. If it's not too extreme, I wouldn't worry too much. Just keep offering different foods. If it becomes a major problem for you, take her to the pediatrician. There are a lot of things that can affect appetite and eating habits in children. I was not a picky eater as a child, but there were certain things I didn't want to eat because they upset my stomach. I didn't know how to tell anyone, though, so I didn't get diagnosed with reflux until I was an adult. After being treated for the condition, I can now eat anything. My son is very picky. For him, it is a sensory issue. He does not like to mix different textures together - everything has to be very plain with little seasoning and no sauces or dips. My brother went through a period of having no appetite when he was a little boy. With him, it was an emotional issue. He became depressed when our maternal grandmother died. I'm just giving these different examples to show how food issues in children can have many cause, and each needs to be handled differently. Sometimes it's nothing to worry about, and resolves on it's own - the child isn't on a growth spurt, and may not be as hungry for example or is just trying out their new found sense of independence.
ARE OR WERE YOUR CHILDREN PICKY EATERS? did you get them to overcome this? do you have...?
Evidently, I was lucky and never had this problem. It could be, that they realized they had no choice and had to conform or not eat. Whatever I did worked and all three of them pretty much eat anything that comes their way. I would have not cooked separate foods, I have never done this because I feel you're establishing a pattern. I guess I cooked the basic foods and I do cook well, maybe that's the main reason they didn't have a problem in this area. My middle child is now 28 and somewhere along the way, she decided she didn't like homemade chili, which by the way, is delicious. On these occasions, when my eldest came home from college, I, at times would prepare Chili on a cold weekend and I would lay out a spread of foods on our dinner table. I can remember my middle daughter then and even now, when she realizes I have prepared Chili, stating, "Oh, you made Chili, you know I don't eat Chili." My answer is the same, "Well, you don't have to eat it." I think it makes her feel special and unique. It makes me think I should get her one of those buttons that she could attach to her shirt. You know one of those buttons that have a red "X" going across a picture of the item you don't like. Maybe a bowl of chili with a big red diagonal line going across it! Best Wishes!
