#asktheexperts What If a kid doesn't like salty food at all?

A. The research indicates that genetics influence some of the difference in the levels of salt we like to eat. Low-salt foods may be harder for some people to like than othersWhatever the issue, you shouldn't try to force a child to eat. But it's not on you to become a short-order cook, either. A better approach is to try to include at least one of their healthy preferred foods at each meal while also offering other foods. You can allow them to eat (or put) only what they like on the plate.
