This video hits me right in the core of my emotions. My ASD gives me sensory issues both with taste and textures, to the point where I had massive food anxiety. My mother used to joke that if someone put a gun to my head and told me to eat mashed potatoes (one of my many trigger foods), I was the only person she knew who'd consider the bullet first. It really does cause so much anxiety and stress, to the point where I've developed certain behaviors with food. One of my roughest moments was when I was in middle school. I was very skinny because of my medicine, and my friend's mom decided to "fatten me up" by making me eat a full 3 course meal. When I refused to eat some cooked carrots she made, she said she wouldn't let me leave the house unless I ate everything left in the pot. Normally, I could just wash it down with a drink like a bitter pill, but she wouldn't even let me do that. I didn't understand, and I still don't, why she wouldn't even let me do that. I'd still be eating the food. It got to the point where I threw up in the sink from my sensory issues, but she rolled her eyes and said I still had to eat what was left. After that it took years before I'd let anyone watch me eat. I'd take food to my room or sit by myself at lunch. Now I'm an adult and I've still got many of those same tendencies. I usually won't eat food prepared by friends, unless they're prepackaged or done buffet style. I love this animation because it captures those feelings perfectly.

[@Socks_incorporated]

As an autistic person I can fully relate to this video, the pure anxiety of trying a food I wasn’t comfortable with or a food that triggered my sensory issues made it feel like I just couldn’t eat at all and how when ppl forced me to eat it how angry and distressed I became. This is a love letter to everyone with food issues in my opinion

This video triggers me as Broccoli 🥦 is one my sensory foods I can only eat ot one way and that's it...drives my grandparents crazy the rest of my family and my friends are just used to me eating different dinners then them ^-^ my friends even make food for dinner that work for me ^-^

[@HaysterTheOtaku]

@Chitoge Chan As someone on the spectrum myself I’d like to say that while autism isn’t directly linked to picky eating people with autism are very sensitive to all kinds of touch and food with very potent textures can set us off the way getting water on my face and the cars seatbelt brushing against my shoulder sets me off I was, and still kinda am, a picky eater and a lot of it is due not to taste but the way it feels in my mouth

[@HaysterTheOtaku]

​@Chitoge Chan also on another note ... this may sound a bit contradictory to this particular videos message but people on the spectrum also tend to latch on to normalcy and routine, if something has been habit long enough trying to change that in their world would most likely prove nigh impossible, even something like "hating" a food and in turn never eating it can be considered apart of ones routine so this gentle "go at the child's pace" doesn't truly work for those on the spectrum granted not in every aspect of dealing with autistic children is like this (as for a lot of aspects the gentle approach is a MUST) but their eating habits is where I'd consider a more stern approach my parents had a tough time with feeding me as it was but even after "giving up" they wanted me to at least be able to eat one type of vegetable so they'd force me to eat some green beans (I wasn't allowed to leave the table until I ate them) with every dinnertime meal and I hated those things for years I even remember one time I ended up working it up so much in my head that I thew up right after dinner but I LOVE them now .. I kinda wish they had done that with other kinds of foods as I still have a bit of a stigma when it comes to eating most of the other foods I hated as a child, I still cannot get myself to eat them unfortunately and my eating habits are far from healthy as a result

I love how the mother uses cooking as a way to teach her boy how to love food. No pressure just “hey, come help me cook. See the beauty of making something.” And then the technique of showing their child how they enjoy vegetables and want to support him lovingly. It’s heartbreaking that the parents didn’t want their child to end up bullied but in the process unwittingly bullied their child themselves.

This is so relatable. I hated certain textures and tastes as a kid. I would end up gagging and nearly throwing up if I ate something with a bad texture. I remember the frustration my parents were at my "picky" habits and I was forced to sit at the dinner table until I finished everything on it. It just made me despise the foods I didn't like even more and I would sit at the table till bedtime. You can't force anyone to like something. I still can't stand onions, raw/chunky tomatoes, and bell peppers. I'll eat spinach, brussel sprouts, beans, corn, and carrots np.

[@Apolemia]

Literally the same thing here. Because I got scared of growing up and ending up just like the guy in the first second of the clip, I had to train myself to eat the things my body would instantly reject. This ended up with me having to deal with intense pain stomach and digesting disorders at first and even though I was able to reduce this rejection effect for a lot of food, there are still vegetables I literally can't eat and will try to avoid at all cost in public events (one of them being cooked broccoli. I swear the texture is so terrible in my mouth it feels like I'm eating a piece of carpet)

[@yeetusthefetus3465]

I also hate raw tomatoes and bell peppers. I try not to be too picky with foods but there are things that I just don't like. I'm like that especially with drinks, I don't know why but anything other than water just doesn't go down easy for me. I hate drinking milk, if I drink big gulps of it, I end up gagging. And tho I sort of like soups, even that I won't be able to drink like a normal person. It's a really hard world 😩

[@cottagefairy7161]

The movie is amazing and captures the emotions so well. Force feeding has always been quite prominent in my family. Everyone has a big appetite and they get so confused when they see me eat less. Anyway It led to a lot of issues, throwing up, tummy aches and mental breakdowns everything. I feel extremely uncomfortable eating with them and whenever my family is not around/I'm alone I stop eating. Whenever I get a chance, 'not eating' becomes a freedom to me. Ironically I love cooking and that does help a bit because I feel in control, of how much I cook and how much I eat.

[@stinkykaiser.9061]

As a child who felt uncomfortable eating vegetables all the time I can relate to this, sometimes it can be hard to have vegetables, especially when your forced

[@sourturtle3964]

As a kid I hated carrots, couldn’t stand them and would avoid them like the plague. Then once I got a stomach illness and certain foods didn’t agree with me anymore, carrots became my go to. Parents, please don’t force your kids to do things that they simply do not want to do if it can be helped. They’ll get it eventually :)

[@summer7578]

This is amazing, and I'm saying this as someone who's never really picky with food xD The story is simple enough to follow, but the visuals are definitely what made the whole film. I can feel myself getting tense and uncomfortable when the parents got frustrated, because while knowing that they have good intentions, it's coming from a place of wanting control and not being above more forceful methods until they come to the realization. From the turning point on, it becomes really wholesome! There's really something about being part of the cooking process that makes food more appreciable. It's interesting how that changes the family's whole dynamic too. Last but not least the pun in the title is too good--

As a kid, I was a very picky eater. I wouldn't even eat lettuce. Because of the sensory feel. And there was so much pressure around it that I felt unable to try anything bc I was already overwhelmed from the thought of eating it. Finally as an adult/teen I started actually being able to try new things bc there was no pressure to. It hasn't always worked out, but now I can eat a lot more things!

[@midnightsky4704]

Me as a child: hating onions and bell peppers. My parents: "Oh you'll grow out of it eventually." Me as an adult: Still hating onions and bell peppers but eating any other vegetable. It's honestly not a bad thing to dislike certain foods as long as you're eating healthy enough in general. I was still forced to eat certain foods as a child, but I was more stubborn than most children so my parents honestly just gave up as long as I still ate some type of vegetable.

[@animequeen78]

@@mochimoonbunnie Yes. Forcing your kids to eat a food that they currently have an aversion to can lead to an eating disorder. Also, I was forced to eat meat daily by my families of origin bc they thought something was wrong with vegans and my stomach suffered.

[@peppybreyer88]

Ack, this brought back a lot of bad memories. When I was maybe ~5 years old, my dad one time literally tried to force a handful of peas down my throat by holding my mouth closed. I almost threw up, but I spit them into his hand. I remember not liking the texture of some meats, and I hate to sit at our dinner table for maybe 3 hours one time because my parents made me finish a plate. I hated it. I remember being shamed by my mom for what I ate because I didn't like the texture or taste of some foods. I'd try and eat something I enjoyed and then feel guilty because it wasn't healthy. I made myself go on diets sometimes without them knowing. I hated that feeling. I'd get so hungry, but I drank water to distract myself instead. Good thing I was hydrated, I guess. I think one summer, my parents made me eat broccoli when we were at my grandma's house. They said "your 5 year old cousin can finish a whole bowl of broccoli in a matter of minutes, why can't you eat one?" I tried to take a bite but I ended up vomiting in the bathroom. I was 11.

I always knew this was a problem for kids growing up but I’m thankful that I never had to experience this. My own mother wasn’t a saint but when it came to food, if I tried it once and genuinely didn’t like it, she wouldn’t make me eat it. And she would have me retry stuff if I asked. Eventually, I learned that I loved veggies and fruits! I even came to love mushrooms and salads that I originally absolutely disliked. I was lucky enough to never be forced to eat it all or heat the dreaded phrase “you can’t leave the table til it’s all gone.” I’m sorry for anyone who had to go through that but know it’s not you, it’s what you went through.

Best way I did it and my siblings did it was when I cooked them food. I would show them meals without vegetables. They would always say it didn't taste right or was missing something. I told them potatoes and onions and carrots always complete the picture. Cooking greens in meat juices worked best. Eventually it's not a struggle to eat a vegetable or something strange.

I understand this so much. Because I didn't like a certain food (taste and/or texture) and wouldn't eat it, I would have to sit for hours at the dinner table because of the 'you cant leave until your plate is finished' But with my dad, he would make a food and if I said I didn't like it, he would just accept it so I didn't feel pressured to eat anything. Because of this I now eat all kinds of things.

[@gisellechausse5261]

It wasn't until now that I noticed the Symbolism with mouths. Characters with big, wide mouths (like the parents) represent how they like a great variety of foods. Characters with small mouths (like the son) are picky-eaters. The son loses his mouth when he develops the eating disorder and stops eating food all together. In the end, when his parents approve he's eating veggies of his own volition, his mouth comes back slightly bigger than before, reflecting the positive enforcement had good effect on his preference for vegetables

[@taylorwaldroplantiegne4619]

This seems a lot deeper than “a picky eater”. I get a sense of this child has an extreme phobia and oral aversion to certain foods.

[@letitiayates5361]

Either that or there’s sensory issues surrounding certain foods. Autistic people (such as myself) often struggle with certain foods due to the texture, taste and/or smell. It can cause a sensory overload, which often leads to a meltdown if forced. It’s not that we’re ‘picky eaters’ or ‘childish’. It’s a real struggle sensory wise, which is why many autistic people also struggle with eating disorders such as ARFID (Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder).

Not necessarily... being a picky eater can cause a lot of anxiety, I know from experience. I would puke from foods I didn't like and my father would always be angry at that, and he would still tell and force me to eat the food that made me throw up. That caused a lot of anxiety and I didn't like when it was time to eat. I remember once at my cousins birthday party I was force to sit for longer at the table(after everyone left) because I didn't eat the cake slice... I didn't and still don't like cake, so it's not just 'heathy' foods I didn't like. People can't choose what they like and dislike, children included. I think it's cruel to force anyone to eat something they don't like. Now as an adult(21) I like many foods I didn't as a kid, but still dislike most vegetables and fruits.

I'm a picky eater. I have been since I developed taste buds. This resonated very strongly with me - there was and still is so much pressure to eat more meats and other food from different companies, especially from my dad. He didn't have access to all the food I do when he was younger, and he'll often ridicule me for refusing to eat certain foods he would've "killed for" just because of how it smells. Or, because I "used to eat those foods all the time", except that he's referring to when I was a LITERAL TODLER. Mom's a lot more understanding. I can't have anything reheated, either. It makes it all mushy. I eat almost every type of fruit and vegetable there is, but meat? It's just- icky to me. I feel the exact same panic that boy does - such an accurate representation. If I eat something new, it will be of my own volition.

[@ko1boy]

This is so freaking relatable. As a kid its not that i hated the vegetables. Its that i hated the fact people forced me to like them

[@sylviatheskywing2265]

Something that happened was that my father was that he always declined his food with the phrase, "I don't like that stuff!" My grandparents soon had an idea and gave him an empty plate. He still said "I don't like that stuff!"

[@Pheelyp]

Since he survived to have you, I assume he eventually got over it. :)

[@sahirubuddhima4937]

This happens many times in many ways. Parents trying to do the best for the kids just because they know it is the best. But They shouldn't do that The only thing need is show the way to achieve it. Then children will grow with understanding, find and achieve the best things for them.

[@sahirubuddhima4937]

forgot to mention, Nice animation

[@sarah-mariewhite6471]

I wasn’t a picky eater, however I was thinner than most and people would constantly make me finish their food because “I’m skinny” like why are you forcing me to overeat? Now that I’m in my 30s I can stand up for myself sadly people still try to make me finish their food. This short reminded me of the anxiety of having to eat everyone’s food.

[@SandwichDoggy]

I never had any issue with veggies and I absolutely love trying new foods. But this kid legit looks like he got an actual phobia.

[@thetanfamily1171]

So basically this short film is to let the person trying it so they can actually like it if you force that person especially as a kid they will not like it over the years and keep not liking it intel you give them a chance to try it by themselves

[@etherealardour4184]

Always struggled with vegetables and fruits. I either disregarded them based on their texture, their scent or their aftertaste, sometimes even the colour. I would barely touch any for years but I was into MA and my nutrition was very limited. So, I decided to try things one by one through methods i found to be comfortable. I still struggle with fruits and i have completely disregarded some vegetables (sometimes with exceptions) but I managed to get through most of them and now I crave them too. Although I still struggle if there are big chunks of them. But, if someone is willing, there’s always a chance to try. There’s no need to be perfect as kids and no one is open to everything. With time, I believe, we can choose to train ourselves into liking things.

As someone with ASD, I felt this! Thankfully, my parents never forced me to eat foods I didn’t like. But they also made sure to give me a gentle nudge so that I would try new foods.

[@eeveeongirl]

Yeah I can somewhat relate to this. I never liked certain foods especially with large amounts of veggies and honestly still don't. My family would ask me to describe why I didn't like them and I would explain the flavor to which they would say "it doesn't taste like that". Once I turned 21 I learned that I really didn't like wine, beer, or most alcoholic drinks outside of sweet cocktails that hide the alcohol. My roommate who was getting a master in dentistry looked at my tongue and said I'm a super taster

Отличная иллюстрация пищевого насилия, себя даже вспомнила, в детстве. 🥲 С малых лет ненавижу лук и чеснок, но всё моё окружение до сих пор продолжает попытки накормить меня этой гадостью. При этом смакуя и нахваливая их с такой силой, будто они готовы питаться только этими двумя овощами. Особенно ужасны были эпизоды, когда бабушка пыталась заставить меня съесть варёную луковицу целиком, якобы это полезно для здоровья.

[@babliadhikari5934]

being a good parent requires feeding your child good things like greens but if you force it to child the child wont be doing it for themselves it does not only go for food but also for other things such as studying, sports and many more. forcing will only make kids hate that specefic thing you are asking them to do let them do it themseleves.my parents use to force me to study till i was in 8th after that they tried a new trick and let me do it my way my scores went up so fast so the main point is let them enjoy that thing dont force

[@selfdestructivecat4922]

This might be one of the few short animations that’s made me cry. I can’t remember relating so much to a character, even though he doesn’t say a word.

[@MrSupernaturalLife]

This reminds me of myself as a kid. I was so sensitive to bitter and spicy flavors that I couldn't breathe or swallow when eating fermented vegetables. (which is 80% of the available dish) I am glad my taste buds grew with me, but seeing an animation that understands that part of my childhood feels nice.

[@harleyrahiri154]

This is exactly how I feel, my parents want me to eat vegetables, but I like any food without it.

[@anaandhoney3153]

[@Fluffanim]

[@mercenarypark]

despite not having any issues with this, it hits really close to home. I never really liked eating things like meat though because of how hard it was so chew and swallow some parts, but i was always fine with vegetables. I think adults brush this kind of thing off as a "oh it's not a big deal, they're just a picky eater" kind of thing. this can seriously impact kids and it makes it so much harder on children who have an issue with this when they don't feel like their problems aren't taken seriously. this was a perfect representation of food anxiety in my opinion.

[@Bananita_dolca985]

I was this child. I didn't eat fruits, milk, yogurt or vegetables. My mom only rarely forced me but she never hit me for that. Now I've started to eat more vegetables. My favorite vegetable is lettuce.

[@venice9032]

It's okay to not like certain foods. Never force anyone to eat things they're not comfortable with. As long as they enjoy other stuff they'll be fine.

[@Jack_sTaub3r-fan]

This tugged my heartstrings in all the right ways as somebody who has a lot of sensory issues with food specifically I really can relate to this kid. I love how they slowly got him to warm up to the food and that he imagined his parents when trying to overcome it

[@_MoonLightStudios_]

I feel what he feels. My mother told me if I didn’t eat my vegetables, they’d take me to the doctor. At the time I was pretty scared of the doctor so I was forced to eat it. 👇🏽 Like if this has happened to you or something similar

[@STARFOXiswatchingYOU]

God, I love this animation and ideas in this film :0 Amazing realization of the fear. I literally felt trapped as this kid was

[@StonedtotheBones13]

Idk why the mentality is to force it instead of making food more appealing. And often ppl don't even think what they're doing is wrong

[@blinkedandnowitsoctober9024]

I love how the size of a mouth is used to show how particular someone is about food. As the video progresses, the kid's mouth gets smaller and smaller until it disappears, showing that he has an eating disorder

It's torture for a child to not feel support when trying something if he does not like it he will keep his choice never NEVER EVER force someone to eat something

[@monicaavgust7625]

This is incredible work. The feeling of vomit rising in your throat when you eat the most disgusting food for yourself is conveyed terribly realistically. I have the same problem as the boy - I constantly look with disgust at everything I eat, putting aside boiled onions, garlic, and chicken veins. I have hated animal fat since childhood. Especially in soups. My mother acted as wisely as the boy’s parents, saying that I should be ripe for lard. Dad tried to “push” broth into me, scaring me. He said that I would be fed through a tube or intravenously. Since then I can't even stand the sight of a plate of pork.

[@nickofrecio1116]

The only solution I can give to parents having a hard time making their kids eat vegetables or anything that they don't want to eat, first is to talk to their kids about the importance of eating a balanced meal. Then slowly adding small pieces of those things to their meal letting them try it and if they don't want the taste, texture, smell etc. then try other ways of cooking like start with adding those things to fried rice. My daughter won't eat tomatoes, onions, eggplants and bell peppers because she doesn't like the taste but she eats other sorts of veggies. I respect her preferences maybe when she grows up she will like them.

I also was a picky eater in my childhood and hated vegetables and fruits. I disliked eating them so much that I preferred remaining hungry than to eating them. I mostly ate rice. So, there was a child specialist who said to my mum that children should be eating whatever they want to eat, it's better that they eat something than nothing. So, my mother didn't force me to eat fruits or vegetables that I didn't like and as I grew older, I myself started eating most of the stuff. So, I do believe you shouldn't force children to eat anything.

[@angelmorii]

As a picky eater: i say that this is the best animation. The little noises that the kid makes are so cute!

[@RadishTheFool]

This is an amazing video depicting so accurately and viscerally what it's like to have food-related sensitivities. Well done for making it, and thank you for sharing it with us. Is there a way to get in touch with an organisation to help get this wider distribution, so that it can reach more parents and caretakers? Possibly with a bit of text explaining why most kids have difficulties with some foods, even if it's often just temporarily. And that we should respect those instances of physical boundaries as much as any other. Also, that some kids just honestly can't learn to like certain foods because of inborn textural/sensory sensitivities. Maybe they are super sensitive, maybe they're autistic and/or adhd, but for whatever reason eating these foods amounts to actual torture. Just because parents/caretakers cannot always understand, doesn't mean they can just ignore that boundary. Let alone forcibly violate it. Again, please get in touch with organisations to see if you can set up a campaign together to increase awareness. Personal boundaries must always be respected. Even if it's about food. Even if we don't understand it ourselves. It's not silly, it's not obstinate, it's valid. Our role as parents is to help children to get to know their boundaries, and to help them to thrive while respecting those boundaries. ☘️
