I experienced picky eating with my kids but only after a certain age. They would eat anything, broccoli, spicy food, whole-grain breads. Then all of a sudden, I think maybe at 1.5 years old, they wouldn't eat anything (without a battle) other than mcnuggets, white bread, etc. I haven't read about this anywhere. My theory is that in ancient times it was important for babies to eat anything parents gave them until they were old enough to wander away. At that point it became more important to not like strange tastes like poisonous berries.
