Its sad, because you did hurt yourself in the long run.

Nutricion during early days is crucial as it allows your brain and organs to develop faster, better.

I know as a parent i shouldnt force food on my kids but i am and i will keep on doing that knowing how big of an impact it will have on their life later on.

Forcing them might have a worse effect. Be relaxed about it and try to show them other ways of eating with unknown people might help though.

> with unknown people

Nooo, that was the source of the problem with me.

Only at 30 am I slowly trying things I wouldn't before, because I live alone and there's no one to see me gag and toss the meal in the garbage if I truly don't like it.

Sorry, meant visual input, not to eat in front of strangers.

It takes ~9 days for kids tastebuds to adapt to new food IIRC
