At this point, he's 41, an executive chef, a wonderful husband, father of two children who enjoy a wide variety of fruits and veggies, and he still eats a rather limited variety of veggies/fruit.

Pooh........you're describing me as well.
A topic for a bit of research for those who might be curious: "Selective Eating Disorder". Here's a glimpse:
Selective eating disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
That's me almost to a "T" only I don't have any sort of the 'social stigma' associated with it. It's always a topic of much humor and joking around with people who know me.
My mom never made me eat things I didn't care for when I was little thus I wasn't exposed to lots of different foods. Very very few fruits, same with vegetables, no salads (never had one in my life and don't plan to), no pies (maybe chocolate would be o.k.).......it's a lot about how some foods taste but actually more to their consistency. If it's plain, bland, etc., I'm probably o.k. with it. If it's something sweet, I'm there! My sister, one grade ahead of me in school thus we were raised in exactly the same environment.........she'll eat anything!
Sandy, as well, will eat ANYTHING........but liver.
Not trying to stoke a debate of any sort - just tossing in my $.0295 worth......about how some people are just wired a bit different than others.
