Picky eating is a 'largely genetic trait', study finds
Briefly

"Food fussiness is common among children and can be a major source of anxiety for parents and caregivers, who often blame themselves for this behaviour or are blamed by others."
"We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely innate may help to alleviate parental blame. This behaviour is not a result of parenting."
"While genetic factors are the predominant influence for food fussiness, environment also plays a supporting role. Shared environmental factors...may only be significant in toddlerhood."
