For me, it was lots of fun meeting up with Scott Magoon and Alice Flaherty:
They are the creators of Luck of the Loch Ness Monster: A Tale of Picky Eating. I learned from Alice Flaherty, also a highly respected doctor of neurology, that picky eating is actually a genetic trait. People whose ancestors are from areas where there were many poisonous plants tend to have the gene for picky eating-- a survival of the fittest characteristic! Afterwards, I caught about 5 minutes of Alicia Silverstone talking about her book on vegetarians. This is as close I got:
Think she'll remember me?

I heard on PBS that there's actually a gene that makes some people taste things like broccoli as a bitter thing, and other people don't taste that at all. That's why it's not kids' faults when they don't like something... or mine!
