I assume this was produced by a 23-year-old who thinks adulthood means something. They'll learn.
Right. We're all just old kids.
Old babies
Geriatric infants
Mummified zygotes.
I mean it's usually kids who are really picky eaters and many grow out of it. If they grow out of it that probably has happened by the time they're 23
Define "picky eater".
I've had people who seem to think disliking any food makes you a picky eater. This seems to be the category the original creator is in. Those people are often the same category of people I never want to see eating because they look like pigs at the trough, shoving food into their mouth at an alarming rate while almost forgetting to breathe, more like animals than humans. But that's not universal, just common.
In reality I don't know many people who universally enjoy every food as an adult. So is everyone picky?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_eating
Ok, so it's undefined
I normally associate the childhood one with what the page calls neophobia.
The issue is that there's a lot of differing definitions
Right...so it's not defined. I don't know the practical difference between "there is no definition for this" and "there are so many different meanings that the term alone without clarification has no meaning".
You said it was undefined and that's right. There's just no one singular definition that is generally agreed upon. But same sort of characteristics are in them, being more selective than normal in eating
True, it's just that there doesn't seem to be a diagnostic for like, what's the level of selectivity. For example the wiki says they have people go through a list of common foods and ask if you won't eat it.
I personally am weird about food so I can readily see why this wouldn't work well for someone like me. If you asked me "do you eat onions" I'd say no, but of course onion powder is fine and heavily caramelized onions are fine (think french onion soup), but I find shoving raw or undercooked onions in salad for example to be absolutely disgusting and I don't know why people would do that. So I have a lot of rules, but the rules are specific preferences based on the specific, prepared item.
In contrast I also won't eat any form of oysters or mussels or anything like that because I just find them to be gross creatures which is probably more akin to the neophobia thing. I've never had them and have no intention of doing so.
But push comes to shove this is really just: I don't like one uncommon food and I don't like some forms of onions. Which isn't that restrictive. I know many people who call me picky, I just call it knowing what I won't eat.
