The Biggest Food Storage Challenge: How to Keep Picky Eaters & Your Family Happy

🧸 Why Kids Reject Food Storage Meals

📖 Food Neophobia (Fear of New Foods)

  • Kids are wired to resist new foods—it’s a survival instinct!
  • Taste buds are more sensitive, making new flavors overwhelming.
  • Stress makes picky eating worse. If they won’t eat it now, they won’t eat it in an emergency.

How to Make Food Storage Work for Kids:
✔️ Store what they already eat
✔️ Introduce food storage meals now
✔️ Keep familiar seasonings & comfort foods

👵 Why Elderly Adults Struggle with Food Storage

📖 Aging & Taste Research (2014)

  • Taste buds fade, making food bland or unappealing
  • Loss of smell changes how food tastes
  • Dry, chewy, or high-fiber foods are harder to eat & digest
  • Stress & illness reduce appetite

How to Make Food Storage Work for Elderly Adults:
✔️ Store soft, easy-to-digest foods
✔️ Use natural flavor boosters
✔️ Rotate familiar meals into their routine
