review 1: As someone who's in progress of reforming her own picky eating habits I turned to this book in hopes of comfort and perhaps maybe a little guidance. It certainly was comforting in the sense that the author pretty much came to similar conclusions to what I had... there's no singular cause for picky eating, and pushing through it is a lot of experimentation, trying to relax, and being brave in trying new things. I found her rambling style of writing to be a little grating at times, but overall a worthwhile read if you're picky or just curious about the picky.
review 2: Intriguing book. Gives me hope that maybe some day, my picky eater will expand her menu choices. However, even though the author did delve into some of the science, I wanted much, much more detai
... morel. That may be the scientist/researcher in me, but I was constantly asking "and?" She seemed to just brush (not even scratch!) the surface of the science. I know that some (much?) of the science is new, but that's all the more reason to give detail and depth!Science-me aside, I did enjoy the book - the author's personal journey and the tales of others. Good read. less

A look humorous at the different causes of picky eating: genetic, physiological, and psychological.
