Study Ties Picky Eating In Preschoolers To Anxiety, Depression, ADHD And Family Problems - Forbes:
"Countless parents have faced the implacable resistance of the picky eater.
You struggle to assure that your kid’s basic nutritional needs are met, while every day confronting an impenetrable wall of disgust.
Maybe the only things that get through that wall are waffles and milk (and junk food).
What do you do?
Most picky eaters eventually expand their tastes.
But at its worst, picky eating (or selective eating, as psychologists prefer to call it) can be a threat to health and development. 
And now, a new study shows, it is linked to significant psychological problems including anxiety, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder."
