If you force yourself to eat more of something, you will grow to like it. I've heard this before, and I've definitely noticed it with myself, my friends, and my family, but I could not find a scientific article to back it up (though I didn't look that hard)

So your picky eating is literally "nonsense" because there is no logical, sensible reason for it--if you would only force yourself to eat other foods (for an extended period of time), you would almost certainly begin to like them.

EDIT: and while I looked for those articles, someone else posted the same comment. Oops.

So however outlandish this may come across, but your assesment everyone could learn to love tree bark, tar, asphalt, fecies, freshly sprayed skunk, hair, etc? Yes, there are people society likely considers "weird" that would eat this stuff, but surely not - everyone - could love this stuff if they'd just try it once, twice, 10 times?
