It is now so common for children to be \\u201cpicky eaters\\u201d that most consider it a normal childhood phase. There are special menus at restaurants and at social events shaping this whole \\u201cchildren\\u2019s food\\u201d culture\\u2014offering them primarily chicken nuggets, french fries, and mac and cheese. Despite parents\\u2019 best efforts, \\u201cpicky kids\\u201d seem to choose carbs all day long and getting them to eat healthier foods can appear like an impossible task. But is it? Can picky eaters be \\u201cfixed\\u201d?

On today\\u2019s podcast, Jennifer Scribner, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and author of \\u201cFrom Mac & Cheese to Veggies, Please\\u201d, helps us understand what makes a picky eater \\u201cpicky\\u201d in the first place and she gives us strategies for helping them change their eating patterns. She tells us what to expect and how to plan ahead to make the transition smooth (or at least smoother) as we navigate from picky to healthy.\\xa0
