It is also important not to give up too early in that they say it can take severl - 20 - 50 times for some kids of looking at, smelling or maybe even trying a food before they determine that it is ok. That is a lot of tossed food for sure and a lot of hungry tummies while they make up their minds. The trick is finding that balance between new food on the plate and one thing they do like.
Yes there are some true food fetishes out there that kids develop but more of them are from lack of exposure to new foods, textures, expectations - ie no alternatives till next meal. That means fine if child doesn't eat lunch then make sure snack is something they like - not give them double servings but make sure they at least get something they will eat. So they barely get enough nutrients for the day, they get to be fussy and you don't cave and hopefully the phase passes.
