A story from The Tower
Kai: fear of trying new foods
Kai eats the same few foods and refuses almost anything new. When a new food lands on his plate, or a food he used to like looks or smells different, he cries, yells at his parents, and says they are torturing him. In his head it sounds like this: "This is gross. They want me to starve. I never get what I want." He is afraid a new food will taste disgusting, be different and wrong, or make him gag.
