Learn the possible causes, when you need professional help, and how to deal with the behavior at home. Learn why "don't play with your food" and "clean your plate"--along with many other old saws--are just plain wrong. And who said you have to eat dessert last? Get ready to have some stereotypes shattered

The case studies are highlighted in gray throughout...
