0:00.0	I do regret the worry. The worry was pointless. And what I want to say to parents of younger
0:10.4	kids is if you're feeling tremendous anxiety around what your kids eat, like, oh, I would do
0:15.3	anything. I would say anything to help you release it because I don't think does anybody any good.
0:23.7	Welcome to Didn't I Just Feed You.
0:25.8	A podcast about feeding kids.
0:29.0	Hey, I'm Stacey.
0:30.7	And I'm Megan.
0:31.9	Today's episode is a little bit reflective because after working on Didn't I Just Feed You for over six years,
0:38.0	talking with countless parents in the trenches of feeding kids. In particular, parents of
0:43.0	picky eaters, our POV on picky eating has changed. Ooh, that's such a juicy start, Megan.
0:50.8	I don't know. Like, it has changed. It has reverted. It has shifted. It has gone through so many things. So many things. And I think we want to reflect on it. You know, it's six years. We just passed our anniversary recently.

1:42.3	Like they're so vocal with their complaints and they've never said anything and as we were sitting and eating the salad he just
1:48.1	looked up and said does anyone actually like this purple stuff yes some of us do he's like it's
1:58.5	so crazy bitter it's weird and i was I was like, there, there goes another
2:03.3	vegetable. I thought I had, but like another one crossed off the list. Guess I won't be making
2:09.3	this ridiculous salad that was like, has been a go-to for me. Okay, fine. And so I was thinking about the fact that the food media industry hires
2:23.9	parents of young kids to write about picky eating. And that totally makes sense. They hired us
2:30.8	when our kids were little. We talked about it all the time.
