If you call someone faddy, you mean they refuse a lot of food. They pick, they leave, they have a list of things they ‘cannot’ eat, and mealtimes become a battle. It is British English, and it is not a compliment: the speaker thinks the person is being difficult, not ill. Parents say it about children; grown-ups say it about one another with the same sigh. In the US, is the everyday word. Though actually, faddy comes from fad, so it can also paint anyone whose likes are tiny and , not only — but the food meaning is the one British dictionaries put first, and the one you will hear over a plate.
挑食的、偏食的（英式，帶嫌棄；美式口語多說 picky）
組成fad + -y. A fad is a short-lived liking; -y makes an adjective. With food, it paints someone whose likes are fussy and changeable.
