I saw a video of someone teaching himself to like celery, and coerced my girlfriend to do the same - it works!

You literally just start by nibbling a bit every day and start eating more and more as you can handle it. She loves celery now, to the point where she just eats it raw as snacks.

Whether it's worth the apparent torture is up to you. To be frank, picky eaters give me second hand embarrassment when out dining, since you can teach yourself to like basically everything. Usually it's just people who didn't get much variety as children.

Or don't, because a crunchy water stick isn't worth the effort...

It is if you're trying to lose weight

Sure, but I don't think forcing the plus sized homies to gaslight their taste buds is necessarily the best path.

I'd personally start with veggies they already like and build from there.

I got plenty of variety as a child, but there are some foods I just can't stand. I'm not about to force myself to eat them when I have so many other options.

But I'm glad I wouldn't accidentally end up eating out with you. Someone who cares so much what other people are not eating makes me embarrassed for them.

You sound insufferable.
