Dad update:
He was discharged from the hospital 2 days. He's understandably tired, but is up and walking. His diabetes is all frelled, and his blood sugar levels are crazy so they have him on insulin. But other than that, he's okay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool car concept. I'm bemused by the passenger-safety-in-crash ability of fabric, though.
Well, its internal frame would provide passenger protection. Just like it does for cars with plastic or fiberglass bodies. (Saturns, Corvettes, etc.)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Most children eat a wide variety of foods until they are around 2, when they suddenly stop. The phase can last until the child is 4 or 5. It’s an evolutionary response, researchers believe. Toddlers’ taste buds shut down at about the time they start walking, giving them more control over what they eat. “If we just went running out of the cave as little cave babies and stuck anything in our mouths, that would have been potentially very dangerous,” Dr. Cooke said.
Thanks for posting this! I knew pickiness was at least partly genetic, but I'd been worried I'd done something wrong because Annabel has grown more finicky over time. When she was 18 months or so she'd at least sample anything you offered to her. Now, NSM. It's not that she doesn't like strong flavors, it's just hard to get her to try anything new.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm glad for the Dad news, Kat. Vibing for an uneventful recovery.

I have had no coffee this am. Have to take Percy to the vet. This leads to trauma all around. because the cat that is reasonable to us- thinks everyone else is evil. And I don't want to know anything more than he is old. No coffee 'til after the vet.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Glad to hear your Dad's doing well overall, Kat!
And thanks for the article. I'd be interested to see a similar study, but focused on adopted children to see how the food aversion and/or new food fear compares with children raised by their biological children.
