Picky eating is one of the more common shared problems in the parenting world. There’s a lot of advice out there on how to avoid raising a picky eater, but let’s be honest here, it really comes down to the kid.
Just look at Chrissy Teigen’s family. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, she talked a little about her two oldest children, 7-year-old Luna and 5-year-old Miles.
She was asked by Kimmel if her kids were picky eaters, and she talked about how Luna will eat everything, including salads and veggies, but Miles? He’s never purposefully eaten a vegetable.
Miles has still not had a vegetable. He is six, almost. He accidentally ate a broccoli floret in a fried rice and was so upset about it. I went on a Zoom call to talk about picky eating and they said it’s the only thing they really have control over at that age so he uses it.
That’s when Kimmel joked saying it was interesting how they claim children have no control over anything, “but they seem to have control over every minute of our lives.”
Ain’t that the truth.
