Dietitian truths: I am not picky. But I am choosy.

REAL talk: the other day someone called me a picky eater. I was gobsmacked. (side note: what a fun word that is!) When I asked them what they meant, they said “well, you only eat healthy food”. Hmmmm... After I got over my incredulity at this judgement, and explained about how all foods fit in my world (just some more often than others) and that I actually eat a wide variety of foods, thank you very much, I got thinking... And you know what? I get what they were saying.
