This is a normal post he solution may have been available the same day but it costs money so there must be many meetings and attempts to persuade the supplier to do it for less
that or the relevant emails were mis-addressed to the wrong person by someone using auto-complete*

This is a normal post Load of fucking nonsense this 'ARFID' bollocks.
Funny how it doesn't seem to be a particularly common phenomenon in poorer countries where food is scarce.
Is this woman seriously suggesting that her bairn has such a discerning palate that she can tell the difference between Walker's 'Baked Sea Salt Crips' and some dodgy offbrand? Or does she inspect the packaging first to make sure she isn't being poisoned by her mother?

This is a normal post One of the best treatments for conditions like this
is continuous effort put into getting the child to try a different range of foods.

One of the worst things you can do is accept the child's restrictions on their diet, like this family seems to be doing.

What would she eat if she had never experienced crisps, toastie waffles and a specific kind of baby fruit puree?

She's just learned that when she says no, her mum goes 'OK'

This is a normal post Absolutely.
It's the parent maintaining the restriction rather than the child.

This is a normal post
my friends kid had something like this for a year or two.

Told my mate to take the kid to a 'all you can eat buffet' thing and get the kid to try a little bit of each food - making sure you cut it up in to very small pieces.

it worked, he went from liking 5 things to liking 9 things (he did it again and it went higher)

it was my mate fault really for not putting much effort in

This is a normal post I was an extremely picky eater up until around 12 or 13.
Basically because I had decided I didn't like particular foods based purely on sight, and my folks caved into my protests of "I don't like that".
The only reason I ended up trying new foods was because I ended up going to a mate's house for dinner one day and was too polite to refuse the terrifying corn on the cob placed infront of me.
Now I'm a fat bastard and I fucking love sweetcorn.

This is a normal post Especially for Rohingyas.
Just to remind everyone that AN ACTUAL GENOCIDE WAS PLANNED AND COORDINATED ON FACEBOOK, so perhaps everyone in the world should stop using it.

This is a normal post Ban local radio too (Rwanda) and newspapers/rallies (Holocaust)
What about churches/meeting halls (First Nation American genocide).

This is a normal post 'Local radio' is not a monolithic business
its business model does not involve making young girls miserable, or radicalising intellectually vulnerable people.

Ditto for 'newspapers' and 'churches.' Perhaps if I'd said social media rather than Facebook, you'd have the ghost of a point.

Facebook deliberately radicalises people for profit. It deliberately stokes social tensions for profit. I don't know why you'd want to defend an organisation responsible for so much death and misery. You should quit facebook if you're using it.

This is a normal post Really, the CHURCHES
"Its business model does not involve making young girls miserable,"
Tell that to the Magdelene laundry, anti-choice campaigners, the whole concept of Original Sin, protecting peadophiles and female subjugation. I reckon part of the anti-Muslim sentiment is that they invented the Burka and Catholicism missed a trick.
"radicalising intellectually vulnerable people."
Far-right evangelicals exist for this.
