Picky Eaters: Why America's Kids Stopped Loving New Foods
About this episode
The episode explores the history of children's eating habits in America and features discussions on how to encourage kids to try new foods.
American children are some of the fussiest eaters in history, but it wasn’t always this way. In the 19th century, kids ate oysters and corned beef, and loved all things sour, smoky, and funky. Helen Zoe Veit shares how American children become picky eaters—and how to raise kids who aren’t. Plus, honey sommelier Marina Marchese guides Chris through a blind taste test (which includes the bitterest honey in the world!) and Milk Street’s Digital Editor Claire Lower sits down with comedian Josh Gondelman to discuss a controversial, hyperlocal phenomenon: the North Shore Beef sandwich.
