Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I went into this ready to shit on him, but the guy actually seems alright. He is aware that it is a problem and is actively seeking help, but has so far not been able to overcome his mental trauma and ptsd from childhood abuse. This is a disorder and he knows it and is trying his best to slowly overcome it. Good luck to him.
this was the first time id heard the phrase "fight flight or freeze" in response to fear
also he has so many supportive wholesome relationships in his life im hopeful for this kid
I know a kid who wont eat anything other than cold hotdogs right from the pack or ramen noodle bricks. I'm not even kidding, cold hotdogs and dry ramen bricks. He's the stepkid of a family friend and the boyfriend is sketchy at best. You can lay out a big ol' spread of fresh cooked food and he can't be satisfied by anything other than cold dogs and ramen. Weird.
He's quite a natural on camera, but also being on camera during a therapist appointment. Kudos to him.
He's gotta take some supplements right? If not wouldnt he have several deficiency diseases?
I saw he commented on the video:
Literal mealtime video.
How long before that Asian doctor shows up with the "Man Eats Only Mac & Cheese for the Past 17 Years, Here's What Happened to His Eyeholes" video?
I know a couple ppl with this disorder it seems to always stem from abusive experiences during childhood
... drain... the blood... out of my meat.... Jesus Christ.
I bet this guys parents were like drug addicts or clinically depressed and all he was capable at the time to make for himself was Mac n cheese. Talk about comfort food
Edit; watched longer than I expected too- parents were indeed, dicks
