Lauren Dial, PhD, talks about a new study of how picky eating in childhood can persist into adolescence and adulthood. Researchers reporting in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior found that college students who self-identified as picky eaters ate significantly less fiber and vegetables and reported greater levels of social phobia than non-picky eaters.
