Hi There,
It is possible that your toddler has made a negative association between food and home and on this basis I would recommend a good early childhood consultant who can help with some behavioural tips to help reverse this.

You should be able to find someone close by in the yellow pages or even buzz your local kindy who all have good networks of people they use.
Likely they will use techniques that involve positive reinforcement and slowly reintroducing things.
Wishing you the best with it and also just to say that this is very common so don`t feel that you are out there on a limb. I get asked about this regularly.
All the best,
Leanne
