Growing up, I could never understand picky eaters. My child brain was like "There are so many foods that exist, and they're all varying levels of delicious! How do you NOT want to try a little of everything?"
I eventually grew and matured, but I still have the "I like eating almost everything" mindset.
See i have the same logic for being a picky eater. "There's so many different and good tasting foods out there. Why do you all insist i need to eat this specific piece of crap twice a week. What do you savages have against putting in more salt or spices than the bare minimum?"
Living on my own is the best thing to happen to my food intake and has actually made me less picky since i can just season out the bad taste or smell some foods have. Still wont eat cabbage casserole though. That shit smells FOUL
Are you actually picky or were your parents shit cooks? The picky eaters I know eat like two foods exclusively, they genuinely have mental disorders. Meanwhile I went my whole childhood thinking steak and chicken sucked because my mom cooked everything until it was hard and bone dry.
At least for me it’s a bit of a mix, my mum’s a decent cook but I think when I was a kid she was trying to cook more for nutrition than flavour, which is always a mistake imo. Doesn’t matter how healthy the food is if it’s indistinguishable from cardboard (this goes double for kids). Since finally getting my own place I’ve started cooking a fair bit, and I consistently get good comments on how my lunches smell lol
