Lead author Dr Zeynep Nas said, "Food fussiness is common among children and can be a major source of anxiety for parents and caregivers, who often blame themselves for this behaviour or are blamed by others. "We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely inborn may help to ease parental blame. This behaviour is not a result of parenting."

Senior author Dr Clare Llewellyn said, "While genetic factors are the major influence for food fussiness, environment also plays a supporting role. Environmental factors, such as sitting down together as a family to eat meals, may only be significant in toddlerhood (蹒跚学步期); While environmental factors, such as individual personal experiences (e.g., having different friends), become more influential in later years." This suggests that interventions (干预) to help children eat a wider range of foods, such as repeatedly exposing children to the same foods regularly and offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, may be most effective in the very early years. Unique environmental factors accounted for about a quarter of individual differences between children in fussy eating by ages 7 and 13, the researchers estimated.

Among the study limitations, the researchers noted that there were fewer participants at age 7 compared to other time points and that the study sample (样本) had a large percentage of white British households of higher social economic backgrounds compared to the general population of England and Wales. In future, the team said, research should focus on non-western populations where food culture, parental feeding practices and food security may be quite different.

Famed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns recently said, "As we got to know him… he was among the highest individuals in America; I'm talking about the level of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Thomas Jefferson — people who have had a transformational effect on who we are."

So where is the quote from? Well, John Muir was a productive writer. Whether he was writing poetry or simply letters to his family, John Muir was always putting pen to paper. The quote is from within one of his many letters written to his sister:

Lily had always been cheerful, but lately she found herself (不知所措). The pressure of school, with its demanding assignments, looming (临近的) exams, and the need to maintain good grades, made her feel that      (消极思想笼罩着她) constantly.    (她太焦虑了以致于，用倒装句) she couldn't stay focused in class. After class, Lily (正准备离开教室时) she was stopped by her teacher, who expressed disappointment over her lack ofconcentration. (感觉血液涌向她的脸), Lily lowered her head and apologized to her teacher. Lying in bed at night, she (感到一阵悲伤) and texted her friend Sarah for help.

(应Lily的要求), Sarah decided to come to her aid. One afternoon, Sarah knocked on the door. When Lily finally (拖着脚去开门), she was met with the sight of her smiling friend. "What's going on?" Sarah asked gently, (将 Lily揽在她温暖的怀里).

As they sat together, Lily felt a wave of relief washed over her. "I've been feeling so depressed," she said, (眼含泪水).
