Anyone who has been through unpleasant experiences associated with food while growing up may relate to this problem that can persist throughout life. Often, when asked, the person cannot explain why a specific food avoidance is so prominent in their dietary choices.  It just is!   I recall  a neighborhood girl who was forced to eat white bread, lard, and catsup every day because it was all the family could afford.   To this day, the word "lard" conjurs up all sorts of images from days long ago.   See if this article stimulates your memory.  Ask yourself what decisions were attached to those images.   For some, it may show where a person got  "stuck"  in a really monotonous groove.   Personally, I like to munch all the food groups.   I'm totally not into boring.
