I think they’re asking because you can develop taste aversion by eating something and getting sick (even if the sickness is completely unrelated).
My sister got H1N1 when it was proliferating, and she had a box of nilla wafers before the symptoms started hitting hard. Now she inexplicably can’t eat a single nilla wafer.
Ohhh. No, I think it’s because my parents didn’t make me try many foods when I was young and then once they began it was the big ordeal of never letting me leave the table until I tried some. Many times I would wait them out because things just disgusted me that much.
I’d still describe myself as a pretty “picky eater” and I loathe trying anything new in public, but I’ve gotten a lot better and I have pickier friends too now. (It helps not being the most picky lol.)
Did you get sick a lot as a kid? Like long term, not just related to food?
I don’t think so, no. Why?
