Why do I do this with my food?!


Question: Why do I do this with my food!?
Before eating food I always judge on how it looks, with everything I eat!. When I'm trying something new, I use every single sense and test it, and if it doesn't pass all the tests, I refuse to eat it!. For example, I am given a raspberry drink!. I sniff it and I look at it and I immediately think 'gross' and I will refuse to drink it!. I get given for example, banana!. I poke it, I sniff, I look at it for bruising or anything like that, and I don't want it!. I haven't even tasted it but I somehow know I don't like it!. And I don't like it when I do taste it!. I also have this weird thing where I won't eat any brown-colored meat on chicken!. Why do I do this!? O-oWww@FoodAQ@Com

Sounds like an eating disorder, I know someone who will only eat white bread, chocolate, cucumber, carrot, apple, chocolate icecream and chips!. If she tries anything else she will actually throw up!. She goes to the doctor a lot to try and broaden what she eats!. They think it's because she was a premature baby and was fed through tubes a lot!.

Just try everything and see if you like it, you could be surprised!. The girl I know's little sister was the same, until she saw I was eating jelly and tried it, and liked it!. It turned out she was only copying her big sister, she now tries everything and likes nearly all of it much to her and our surprise!.

I think its a bit mean for people to say you're a spoilt brat as they don't even know you, seek medical attention as it could be a longterm problem and develop into something worse!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Whereas most people judge their food firstly by appearance, and certainly smell and aroma, before they taste, you are a little bit more selective!. I think part of the process is natural, but it could, if not monitored, develop into a disorder!. If you are asking the reason you do something and do not know the answer yourself, then it could be a problem brewing!. keep an eye on yourself, try out new things if you can, even blind taste a few things as a fun game to try and expend your diet!. Bon apetit!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You aren't all that unusaul!. I work with a 50 year old woman who's the pickest person ever, just one of her quirks is she will only eat the white part of the lettuce!.!.!.it gets worse from there!.
You sound pretty normal!. Most of what you describe is simply you not eating what you don't like!. That is normal!.

Don't fret, you just need to mature!. Your palate will mature as well as you yourself!. My kids when yount would not eat a banana with a brown spot either!. Thank goodness they grew out of it because it would be terribly unattractive to others to come across as that dramatic

You don't say how old you are but I'm guessing younger than 14!. Don't worry, you'll mature!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Maybe you're fussy, spoilt and self centred!. If you were hungry and couldn't afford to just buy another banana or raspberry drink you'd have to eat and drink what you've got!. An animal died for you to eat chicken!. You can at least show it some respect by eating it and not wasting the poor little life!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
