Update #1: State of Things Interview
Yesterday, I was on a local NPR show called "State of Things" to talk about my picky eating and the finicky eater study at Duke. It was a ton of fun, and the host, Frank Stasio, was an awesome guy. You can listen to the podcast of the segment right here:

It's a really interesting discussion, and we had some awesome people call in to give in their two cents. Check it out and share it with your friends (who, if this segment was any indication, are all secretly picky eaters).
Thanks to everyone who has donated so far. You all are beyond amazing. Thanks!
