So is the picky eater problem a shibboleth of an SES class higher or lower than upper-middle?
I can see lower classes being picky because of limited exposure to novel foods, but higher classes because of unrealistic culinary expectations.
- sdwr 3y agoLower-class = can't Upper-class = won't The word "picky" demonstrates the social wrapper in action: lower-class "can't eat that food - I'm scared of it / it might throw off my digestion / not be worth the price" is disguised as the upper-class "I could eat that but would rather have..." to save face.
