I could be misinterpreting your comment, but it sounds like you were ultimately unhappy with the results from the experts? I personally would be relieved to learn that my kid is getting enough nutrition, and that I don't need to worry so much about their diet. I'm also not surprised at the response you got. The predominating view these days seems to be that worrying about a kid's diet tends to be counterproductive. Most sources seem to agree that as a parent, your only job is to provide healthy options, and it's ultimately the kid's job to decide what they eat. The more pressure you put on, the less likely they are to want to branch out. Of course there are some techniques out there to encourage kids to try new foods, such as involving them in food preparation. But ultimately I think the most important thing is to just relax and remove the pressure. (Anecdotal evidence: after my wife and I decided to stop trying to get our 2-year-old to eat vegetables, he eventually started eating them on his own.)
