A buffet is a buffet and it's all you care to eat. That's my rare
nights out and I like to at least sample everything that looks
interesting. I always end up eating way too much and I rarely make it
to the nice looking dessert bars.

I have no food allegies or intollerences. I enjoy all food where ever
I eat. Maybe I'm just lucky. I eat any thing that I want to, just not
a lot of any one thing. Your food situation is inconceivable to me.

It sounds like you eat a lot of junk food too and just suppliment it
with vitamins/pills. Not a good way to go.
