This is a completely psychotic thought, but I'm really curious to see what kind of circumstances would break their pickiness. For example, how many days of starvation before they change their minds. Also, would that happen sooner if no one was observing them?
Absolutely unethical and it could never happen as an experiment, but I wish I could see the results somehow.
In the more extreme cases, I'd assume never, as it is with Bulima and Anorexia, though I can't find anything online that specifically mentions ARFID.
Remember that guy who took a bunch of babies and had them raised without any affection and minimal contact to see what the original human language was? Maybe we can get him to do it
I can't believe I ducked that and it gave me MULTIPLE CASES spanning thousands of years.
e: Harry Harlow burn in a thousand hells.
A friend of a friend got into coma once because of that, their parents apparently didn't thought that it's psychotic to starve their children to death as an experiment and a teaching moment
I know in my case I’ll go 4-5 days without eating something if I can’t find anything that won’t be awful.
