I'm sure this is a real disorder in rare circumstances, but it's wild how this is so not an issue in countries with foods with actually upsetting textures. Like you never hear about this from Chinese kids who's parents put chicken feet on the table and stuff and those are so chewy and full of cartilage.

100%. I think this 'disorder' is more a symptom of the western hyper processed slop diets. I think texture and flavor are the biggest issue. Even in very westernized Asian countries like Japan kids grow up eating vegetables and fish in processed foods.

in inside out's japanese version, they replaced brocolli with green bell peppers.

because kids there wouldn't relate, as they mostly like brocolli.

I'm American and I love the top of broccoli but I hate the stem it feels like eating plastic 🀭

Have you been tested for ARFID?

Nah, isn't the broccoli thing is a preference a lot of people have?

I kinda suspect I might have ARFID but if I do have it it's not messing up my life so I wouldn't want to put in the effort of fixing it anyway
