My nephew for instance refuses to eat vegetables and greek yogurt/kefir makes him gag. My sister struggles to get him to eat anything but pasta and chicken nuggets. They used my product and now he eats yogurt, tomatoes, broccoli, fish, soup, etc. Best way to understand is to see it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLmeCbotvYI&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLmeCbotvYI&feature=youtu.be

Interesting how kids' taste buds work -- sweet-tasting or even tasteless broccoli would probably make me gag if I ate it. I thought there was usually a big color and texture component to that stage as well though.

  It is strange. Miracle fruit only works on acidic foods but for some foods it still changes the taste. I wouldn't say the broccoli taste sweet or tasteless, just less bitter. I shouldn't be promoting alcohol, but it makes cheap liquor taste smoother than the top shelf stuff too. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBgLc-UlIDm/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CBgLc-UlIDm/ The tastebuds of children, turns out, are different than those of an adult. They have not only more sweet buds, they are larger too. You are absolutely right on the last point. I talked to a taste therapist that works with picky eaters and those are very big factors.

But does he still have to use your product? Although it’s better for him to have a more varied diet I thought kids mostly grew out of this fussiness. It would be terrible if he became dependent on your product into adulthood.

  Hard to extrapolate here since I don't have too much data, I hear you though. But yes, I am shocked that he still uses the product 6 months later (product-market fit?). As bad as it would be to reliant on my product, I'd rather have him eating greek yogurt and vegetables than sugary shit so not a bad sacrifice. When it comes down to it, is it a dependency or brand loyalty? Think of all the brands we are "dependent" on and how it is normalized to buy an iphone every few years or a pint of ice cream every week, for instance.
