>Does it really suck to be a picky eater?
well the issue is that if you are not a "picky" eater you don't understand what is happening. most "picky" eaters have a stronger sense of smell and taste.
we can smell or taste things in food that non tasters can't, and let me tell you there is some nasty tasting/smelling compounds in many foods.

my dad could eat anything but even he had foods he didn't like. raw onions and mushrooms.

my nephew is 30 years old and an airline pilot and has struggled with picky eating his whole life. he has expanded his palette a little but he still finds many food flavors overpowering. I used to be able to name all the things he would eat.

I found that when I was young many foods had tastes and smells that would overload my senses. I could not stand ham, but liked bacon. loved over easy eggs, hated hard cooked eggs. peas would make me gag and nearly vomit. most vegetables are bitter and have tastes and smells that are vile (no matter how they are cooked). beats taste like dirt. broccoli tastes like poop smells even when grilled or insert your favorite way to cook them here. brussel sprouts smell like rotting meat and have a terrible taste I cannot begin to describe even when cooked your favorite way.

as I have gotten older I have been able to enjoy many food that I could not eat as a child, like ham, but there are still foods that I cannot stand even the smallest taste of like fish. could I eat these foods if I was starving? of course, but I'm not starving so I won't.

also why do people get so butthurt when other people don't like the foods that they like? I don't get mad when someone says they don't like things that I like: medium rare steak, spicy foods, under cooked bacon, etc.

If you don't like something who cares? more for me.

the good thing about being a picky eater is that we can tell when food has gone bad long before "normies" can. which is quite funny to watch people eat food that has gone off and not tell them
