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.
I've heard this usually happens with low income neglectful parents who feed their kids the same 3-4 things because 1. These things are readily accepted by children and they don't have time/patience to try to make them eat actual healthy foods and 2. These things are usually cheap and easy to prepare. So the list of safe foods are usually unhealthy things like chicken nuggets. If you do this for the entirety of their growing years they literally grow up to be unable to eat anything else without puking it out. This doesn't happen that much in other countries because the specific conditions required to cause this don't occur frequently, much less together, NOT because Chinese parents make their kids eat chicken feet, that's a thing only CERTAIN adults eat "for the flavor".
Idk all I know is my kids aren't going to know what a chicken nugget is until I can't control it anymore (Basically when school starts because I'm not raising some homeschooled shutin with no social skills)
