No kidding. I love cooking and I love food, but add kids to the mix and it looks like a nightmare.
Everything you mentioned, then let's add that you can't have a favorite treat without them wanting to share. I've heard of moms hiding in the bathroom just so they can have a brownie or candy bar in fucking peace.

I am firmly of the opinion that a LOT of picky eaters are made, not born. Parents who act as short order cooks are doing themselves and their kids a disservice.

I was allowed to pick out one ingredient per meal at most, and I couldn't make a fuss about it. I think it was a good decision on the part of my parents, because it allowed me some choice of avoiding foods I really hated, without compromising my overall nutrition or kowtowing to my preferences. For instance I really hated mushrooms as a kid (I'm fine with them now), and so I would pick them out of sauces and then I would still have to eat the mushy peas (which I also didn't like).

That's the thing about with taste and tastebuds, young kids have vastly more tastebuds than adults and they're attuned to sweet pretty much from birth. Along with a natural affinity for preferring certain fats, it's pretty much natures way of ensuring survival by building in a preference for fats and sweets.
The unfortunate flip side of having more tastebuds is that they also taste bitter (acidic) and sour (alkaline) more readily. Although this is also natures way of making us reject poisonous potential foods, it doesn't really work with modern and safe foodstuffs. Kids need their taste and tastebuds to be attuned to acclimatized to bitter and sours, with repeated exposures. There are some people that remain supertasters after all this, and simply cannot tolerate certain foods, but luckily by then they have built a tolerance for a relatively diverse and nutritionally suitable diet.
Lazy parunts simply don't want to go to the effort of persisting, and cave in, pumping their dumplings full of synthetic garbage designed to hit the natural affinities - that being fat, sweet and salty - and usually full of masses of empty calories, along with a huge helping of synthetic chemicals that play havoc with metabolism and biochemistry. Hence the appalling diets of the brats. Plus the ease at which they can get them into their whining face holes. Yet they wonder why their cherubs, along with the general population in the west is ballooning.

When I first read the title of this thread I thought:
Childfreedom bonus: getting to do EVERYTHING in fucking peace!
I call that a win-win!

Or how about...using the bathroom??
The conversations I've had the misfortune to hear between little kids and their moms in public restrooms are revolting enough to make anyone consider CF. Just yesterday, I was in a public restroom at work when a woman absolutely dressed to the nines came in with her toddler. You could tell by the way that she dressed and carried herself that she had self-pride. As soon as they go in the stall, the kid yells, "ARE YOU GONNA POOP, MOMMY??!!"
Yeah, no thank you! I don't need a running public commentary on what I'm doing in the restroom.
