I don’t think kids having no access to food in a crisis is ever going to be a positive thing. Kids are often fussy eaters, but there are evolutionary reasons for it. They have a genuine fear they will be without food and water and are rationing. If kids are hungry, they will eat non preferred foods, but if they go hungry often, food anxiety may make a worse relationship,with food than being fussy.
