WHY CHILDREN BECOME FUZZY EATERS IN 1915 A worried mother from Maine wrote to the United States Children’s Bureau to ask why her son was rejecting a variety of foods. Could it be that he did not like them? The expert at the federal agency wholly dismissed that idea and suggested she take him to a doctor. It must be stomach trouble. After all, voluntary food rejection was almost unheard of in America at the time. Children ate what their parents put in front of them. They even asked for seconds and probably said “please” and “thank you”. (Parents, eat your heart out.) Today American children have become “the fussiest eaters in history”. In a new book, Helen Zoe Veit, an associate professor at Michigan State University, decries changes in adults’ behaviour and thinking over the past century that “allowed picky eating to hijack American childhood”.
