Just found this by accident when searching for an old article: Breaking news from New Scientist Kids’ asthma linked to mothers’ depression.

Re: fussy eaters

Because, of course, anecdotal evidence from mothers isn't possibly enough to base serious scientific research on *eye roll*.

I've done that rant, just over a year ago.

I've always been twitchy if I'm forced to eat food prepared by someone I don't know well (e.g. a friend or partner's parent), because one can't easily interrogate a stranger about every single item that has been put into a dish without seeming critical.

My mother would be ideal for you. She cooks very good, simple food, and will always know exactly what's in there. And it will always be a short, simple list. And she's the one who identified my dairy intolerance while breastfeeding, not the doctor. She thinks this kind of thing is important; my second-oldest sister was seriously ill from dairy intolerance, so the doctors got my mother to put her on formula. She got much, much worse. Mum's still furious.
