Picky eaters in the news

This is a recent item from Parenting magazine:

BEYOND PICKY
A lot--a whole lot--of kids are fussy eaters. But as many as 20 percent of children have an actual pediatric feeding disorder, says Peter Girolami, Ph.D., with the Kennedy Krieger Institute Pediatric Feeding Disorders Program in Baltimore. In these kids, their pickiness leads to weight loss, slowed growth--and extreme stress for the whole family. Sound familiar? Talk to you doctor to find a specialist near you.

Makes me feel like I'm doing okay, since we're not having weight loss/growth issues over here. That said, we could be doing a whole lot better, too. This gives me some motivation to move forward!
