My kid is an extremely limited eater, with significant anxiety about food, a number of texture aversions, and a huge number of food allergies.

Our pediatrician has told us to leave him alone. I would rather have him deal with being the adult who orders a hot dog at a fancy business dinner than him being the teen who dies from eating a hidden allergen.

I also think he deserves the same basic respect as the adults in our house, which means that we don't knowingly serve foods that we know someone dislikes, and we don't try and force or shame each other about our aversions. (I don't eat meat, my wife hates mushrooms. Neither of us like olives). She does not make meat dishes and I don't make things with mushrooms, even though we both love those items.
