my 19 yo toddler rejects home food at home (he would rather starve) and also when we bring homecooked food out. It seems like he likes salty food. is it better to feed him salty food so that he will eat? sigh .

Instead of giving salty food, how about using nature favouring to improve the taste of the food? I never add salt for all food for my 18 months and family. I used fruits, herb and tomato/carrots/celery to improve the taste instead.
