I don’t eat veggies, and I’m definitely not eating the gross parts of my meat like liver, so I have to take a big bowl of supplements. It works out for me.

- unfocussed_mike 5y agoLiver: I am totally with you! It's something I'd like to be able to eat because it has nutrition, but... yeah it's still on the list of horrors. Many things are. Veggies: there are still some that give me the horrors, but it's really all in the cooking (and the seasoning). Which is not to say I am a good cook. I hope over time you find a bit more enjoyment from food but I do fully understand where you are, and very often I am reminded that I could end up back there. (When I was a kid, early '80s, my mother, exasperated, took me to the doctor and said, he only eats (lists three things). The enlightened doctor said to my mother, in front of me, and I quote: "That sounds lovely. Invite me round for Sunday lunch". And then to my mother when I was not in the room, that worrying about my intake and pushing me to eat things would only make it worse for me.)
- irl_chad 5y agoOh I love food - quality food. I don’t eat trash like McDonald’s (at least not very often..). But I have to consume like 5k calories every day for sports, and that gets tiring.
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoI am very torn re: McDonald's because like many former food-avoiding kids I was probably kept alive in part by the Filet-o-Fish. White food, bland, precise. When you look at McDonald's at a distance, what they sell is comfort, consistency, and freedom from disappointment. It's always the same. Haven't eaten there in years, but decades on I can see that there are people in our high-stress world for whom that provides some value.
