Let alone killing > one yourself? I'd be a vegetarian if I couldn't do so. And I was a vegetarian for most of my life. Vegan for some years. It isn't that I can't face seeing something dead. It's that if it is in the whole form or even something like a chicken leg, that causes me to get a visual image of the animal. I would prefer to be a vegetarian still but since I can't eat eggs or dairy any more, that really limits what I can eat. I do love beans but they are high in fiber and I also have to watch the amount of fiber that I eat because of the gastroparesis. This is why I do eat some meat. Mainly ground beef, and minced up chicken or occasionally turkey. I really don't like the taste of any of these things too much but they are necessary for protein. Nuts also have protein but I can only eat some of those and due to the fat in them, I can't eat many of those either. > >>Same as if we see a whole >>dead fish or even a live lobster or crab in a tank.

Not likely that will happen. Not likely, but IRL things like that has happened, rare as it is. Look at the Donner party. There was a plane crash in South America IIRC. Easy to say what we would want to do, but if the situation did occur, most of us would do whatever for survival. You think you'd all sooner die? What if the choice was to watch your daughter die or feed her Fido? I'd light the fire. Most of us would. |

Not likely that will happen. > > What if there is a major Internet outage? > Whatever will you do for food? What would that have to do with anything? I know that even if we could not leave this house for some reason, we'd have enough food for a month. Beyond that we could still eat perhaps even for a month or two but we'd wind up not having much variety and the cats might have to eat human food. I am having a very hard time amassing any quantity of the food pouches that they eat. They each eat one per day and I can mostly only find a dozen at a time. Sometimes more. I had been buying on the Internet in quantity but the price has gone too high. The cats are very picky when it comes to their food. Not as picky when it comes to dry food which is good because the vet wants them to eat Royal Canin which they both seem to like. However, they will not eat any canned food. But they do love the pouches of the Fancy Feast Broth and they will like their plates clean. I tried the new Fancy Feast *in* Broth the other day. They did lick up the small amount of broth that was in there but did not touch the chicken. The other two humans that live here would likely have a more difficult time than me in a case like this. I am fine to eat the same thing day after day after day. Yes, I might get tired of it and wish that I had something else. But you won't hear me whining about it. But at least one of them would begin complaining, "I want... I want... I want..." And to that person, I would say, "Just shut up and be happy that you *have* food!" Because my husband was in the military, it was drilled into us to keep plenty of things around in case a disaster might befall us. And this has worked to serve me very well. I also try to buy things when they are on sale. I ran across a closeout sale on some jars of applesauce a few weeks back at a store that is in the middle of a remodel. Normally this isn't something we eat much of but I know it will be needed when one person here gets her wisdom teeth removed. So I bought several jars. I always try to think ahead. |

If you guys enjoy sitting around and playing a game of "What if", then got for it. I'm out. I have better things to do. And you should know by now that if it is something that most people would do, then I would likely do the opposite. |

Julie, I don't know what those acronyms are and not going to bother to look them up. Fact is a MEDICAL condition driven heating habit is not and never is defined as 'picky eater'. If you state you can't eat something because of gatropariesis (sp?), no one will find it odd. It's when you try to redefine that as 'picky' that you are messing up. A picky eater is someone who choses for whatever reason to be so. It is not medical. Being a picky eater is very common in toddlers for example. Most grow out of it naturally. I drove my mother to distraction for example because I would only drink milk or apple juice or water until I was 3. I wouldn't eat much other than saltine crackers, peanut butter, and green beans until the same age roughly. Mom simply served me toddler sized portions of other things as well while making sure I ate enough. Eventually I got totally over it like normal children do and by age 4, I'm told if I could catch it, I tried to eat it. My daughter in comparison is slightly 'picky' but so slightly that it's more of a preference to avoid hot spicy foods. Don and I love them but we know to make some things fairly mild if she's to enjoy them. She in turn knows we like spicy so when she cooks, she adds spicing to her top comfort level for us or adds a spicy side dish. Could it be you are using the wrong term for your eating habits at times? I suspect so. The not eating meat is a 'picky' issue but it's a totally acceptable one to prefer vegetarian primarily. A diabetic who needs to eat a certain way is not a picky eater. A person like my friend Susan who was told by her doctor that she needed to go gluten free, isn't being picky. Heck, I have a jar of Gluten powder to take over to her house as the rest of her family have no such issues and she needs it for making them bread. People who define themselves as 'picky eaters' in adulthood (as opposed to the common toddler level) are telling others 'pay attention to my needs because I'm special and i expect you to make changes to accomodate me'. The adulthood version of a true picky eater who defines themselves as that, is normally all about control. What we see commonly here (and remember, I really DO like you as a person!) is your family in collusion with you, driving a never ending cycle where you contantly cater to them and make multiple meals all the time, so each person can express their 'control' over you by making you come up with 3 separate different dinners. It seems to happen all the time based on your posts. I would not put up with how you seem to have to cater to them all the time. It's far more different than the occasional 3rd veggie we make here because Don and I love Brussells Sprouts and Charlotte isnt fond of them. I'll toss something extra in the steamer for her on the rare times Don and I have Brussells Sprouts. My case may happen 3-4 times a year. Example: Normal would be some cabbage and maybe eggplant. Special meal variation would be Brussells (me and Don), Broccoli (me and charlotte), and Carrots (Don and Charlotte). One steamer, all done at the same time, just pick which 2 you like best. I wish you well Julie, but much of what you complain about, you bring on yourself. -- |

What she may need is more recipes like ths one of mine that she once said she really liked. It's a basic simple one and you add at the table, other items that appeal to the person. Carrot soup, can be stove topped but designed around a small crockpot. -Fill small crockpot (I have one that holds only 5 cups) with loose chopped carrots up to 3/4 -add chicken broth to cover plus about 1/2 inch When the carrots are totally soft, use a stick blender or something to puree it. Serve in bowls with a pat of butter (more or none based on the person's own taste). No more is needed but we have optional sides, if desired, to be added by the person: minced green onion, more butter, chinese 5 spice, black pepper, salt (kosher flake is nice), crumbled cooked honey bacon, sour cream, Hungarian Hot Sweet Paprika, Curry blend powder. You'll note that with the exception of cooking a piece of bacon (a leftover done earlier for a BLT or something) and mincing a green onion bit, the rest is mostly spices or something from the fridge. This type of recipe works well as you adjust to personal tastes easily. The base recipe also freezes well and can be rewarmed in a microwave. We generally get a 4cup yield and use it as a side soup for us 3 the first night then freeze it and use the rest for a side on another meal a couple of weeks later. -- |

Even at 5ft1, 85 lbs is skeletal pretty much. I know, I am 5ft1. At 5ft7, you start looking like Skeltor at 115. Recent welcomed adaptions to the allowances for models put a 5ft7 model under 115 out of business I believe until they gain weight? Julie is exagurating by a wide margin much like Sheldon does on things. When I hit 92lbs dealing with some stress of Chief's initation, they almost removed my medical qualifications to remain on sea duty. I assure you, I looked like a pipe cleaner with the fuzz pulled off. Military uniforms didn't come smaller than size 4 (still don't best I know). I am a high metabolism endotherm who struggled most of my life to keep up to 105 and yes, I ate probably 3,000-3500 calories a day. Now in my 50's I had to scale that back a little but I still fit the charts for military service with 20lbs to spare. Running 123lbs right now, they give to 145 last time I was active duty. At 123lbs, a loss of 10lbs might be nice but i know if I drop under 110, I get sick a lot. -- |

I guess I can say this only because I am not mentioning names but there are countless picky eaters out there who really wish they could bring themselves to eat more foods. They just can't. It is not a choice. And in many cases, I think it is a mental problem. Some people are so afraid of various foods that they say they begin shaking, have to leave the room, think they might faint, etc. I find it hard to believe because no one like that has ever crossed my path but for them, this is very real. > > Being a picky eater is very common in toddlers for example.

I drove my mother to distraction for example > because I would only drink milk or apple juice or water until I was 3. > I wouldn't eat much other than saltine crackers, peanut butter, and > green beans until the same age roughly. Yes. I know that most toddlers are picky. My kid actually wasn't when I compared her to the other kids that lived around us. I have always been picky. For intstance, I hate graham crackers. This made Kindergarden miserable for me because we were supposed to drink milk and eat them. I hated milk too but most days I managed to get out of that because in those days we still had little glass bottles with the paper tops. Almost always there were two more more bottles that had become frozen and I knew to look for them. I would then take one and not be able to drink it because it was in fact frozen. However, there was no way in hell that anybody was going to get me to eat that graham cracker. My teacher finally had a talk with my mom and allowed her to send in a box of Saltines for me. The whole thing seemed very silly to me anyway. It wasn't an all day class and when I had been at home, I wouldn't have had a snack at that time anyway. I just flat out didn't want the snack. Nap time was just as difficult for me as I never napped and wasn't going to do it there. > > Mom simply served me toddler sized portions of other things as well > while making sure I ate enough. Eventually I got totally over it like > normal children do and by age 4, I'm told if I could catch it, I tried > to eat it. Well... I grew up in a house with two picky eating parents and they also had picky eating parents on both sides of the family. For instance, my step grandpa refused to eat leftovers and would never eat outside. My grandma refused to eat anything thatr she considered to be foreign food. She did make German potato salad but would never touch pizza, pasta, Mexican food, Chinese food, etc. She did eat chili. So how she formulated those rules, I shall never know. My other grandparents, depsite having a farm and growing watermelons, despised watermelons. They refused to allow them to be eaten in the house and they wouldn't touch them, themselves. That grandpa died when I was young so I don't remember too much about him. My grandma preferred sweets though and when left to her own devices, this is what she made and ate. My mother wouldn't eat bread, onions, tomatoes, peppers, oats, cereal, pears, any melons that weren't watermelons, most seasonings. My dad had to know exactly what was in the food before he ate it. If he saw a suspicious seasoning, he'd ask about it before he would eat it. And neither one liked sauces. We did eat tomato sauce on spaghetti and the like but other than that, I don't recall any sort of sauces being served at home. I am sure that I have missed some things that they didn't or wouldn't eat. At restaurants, sauces were always asked to be put on the side. In fact, when we dined out, we were always encouraged to get our food exactly the way we wanted it. Which is why when people here say things like how they were given one meal and they had to eat it or starve or some such thing, this is all a very foreign concept to me. This just never was my reality and I can't even fathom forcing another person to live like that. Unless perhaps a case of abject poverty where there was nothing else available to eat. > > My daughter in comparison is slightly 'picky' but so slightly that it's > more of a preference to avoid hot spicy foods.

I suspect so. The not eating meat is a 'picky' issue but it's > a totally acceptable one to prefer vegetarian primarily. Nope. Not at all. For instance, I dislike certain textures of foods. sw recently posted that he disliked puddings and other things for the texture. I am the same. I also dislike the texture of certain ice cream cones (the flat bottomed ones), those wafer cookies with the icing between (waffle looking), rice cakes and anything else that reminds me of Styrofoam, which they do. I also dislike the texture of most steamed vegetables. Raw is fine, roasted is fine, fully cooked is fine but steamed just grates on my teeth. Nope. I don't like the seasonings of Indian food, Japanese food or most Chinese food. I don't like most meat and seafood. Both the taste and the texture. I don't like most sweets and fruit. They just do not taste good to me. Don't like the texture of most cakes. Or whipped cream. Or cream cheese. Or ice cream. > > A diabetic who needs to eat a certain way is not a picky eater.

The adulthood version of a true picky eater who > defines themselves as that, is normally all about control. Nope. We certainly are not. I am perfectly capable of making my own food and I don't need anyone to make it for me. I hate dining out. I only do it because my mom *only* likes dining out. We mainly eat at a certain Mexican place. The owner himself is a picky eater and many were the times that we discussed this when he was not busy. I wish you could see the comically disgusted looks he got on his face as he described some of the foods that his mom used to make. He is perfectly willing to accomodate any diner and it even says so on the menu. Both he and his wife also have medical conditions that cause them to have to change their diet. He bascially told us, "Tell me what you can eat or what you want and I will make it for you." And he does. When Angela was younger, she loved a particular chicken dish but it was far too much food for her. So he made it for her in a smaller portion and charged us less. I don't mind eating there. I don't even have to pay. My mom pays. Otherwise that would nag at me because I know I can make all of this food at home for less money. Heck, the restaurant owner even told me how to make the food at home so I can make the same stuff. I also do love eating at the taqueria because their food is the best ever. But it is not near here and it is often so busy that we can't get a seat so we don't eat there often. It's also cheap. $21 for three people, including drinks. And I don't have to ask for special food there because they don't put any cheese on their tacos. However, as a general rule, I despise eating out. > > What we see commonly here (and remember, I really DO like you as a > person!) is your family in collusion with you, driving a never ending > cycle where you contantly cater to them and make multiple meals all the > time, so each person can express their 'control' over you by making you > come up with 3 separate different dinners. It seems to happen all the > time based on your posts. So? It seems to bother you. Most of the time, it doesn't bother me. And I don't usually make food for Angela any more. She prefers to get her own, which is fine my me, provided she has told me ahead of time what she wants. I am trying to get her to the point of planning ahead but that doesn't seem to work as her friends are constantly doing spur of the moment things and wanting her to go along. Anyway... I grew up being catered to. I see nothing wrong with it. Perhaps there is jealousy on the part of those who were not catered to? I don't get it. It's my life. I'm not asking *you* or anyone else here to cater to me. Why should this bother you? > > I would not put up with how you seem to have to cater to them all the > time.

I don't go around bothering people or telling them what to do. I see no need to do that. They can live their lives the way they see fit. I'm not breaking any laws or being mean or doing bad things. Why is this your concern? > > I wish you well Julie, but much of what you complain about, you bring > on yourself. What was I complaining about? Please tell me. I don't remember any complaint. I gave a Costco chili review. It was positive. I thought I wasn't going to like it because it has pinto beans in addition to the kidney. I did like it. So did Angela. But we both only had one bite. So who ate the rest of it? My husband. And he ate it all so I know that he liked it. He's not really a picky eater but if he doesn't like something, he won't eat it. So remind me again... Where was the complaint? |

Of COURSE they noticed. As I said... I had been sick for weeks and had already been to the Dr. repeatedly. My mom most likely took me there instead of the hospital because that Dr. already knew all of the problems I had been having. And I was already basically a skeleton prior. I was very underweight to start with. And that was not due to lack of eating. I ate a lot. I just could not put on weight. Until after I had this illness. Once I recovered from it, things all went the other way. Now I only have to look at food and I gain weight. And no, there was no typo. |

You need to quit worrying. That's not good for your health. I came into this world not being healthy. My parents tell me that I had a muscle problem. Alas for me, my parents liked to hear the dumbed down version of things and liked taking a pill to fix things. So to this day, they can not tell me exactly what it was that was wrong with me. I only know that I was put into dance because of it. And I well remember being taken to specialists to try to figure out what it was. I do remember the one Easter, getting out of bed and screaming in pain because I couldn't walk and it even hurt to stand. I remember going to the ER and I remember having some painful tests done. I wasn't very old then. Perhaps 3. I have a knee that began subloxating when I was 12. That means that it would dislocate but then put itself back into place. Very painful. As an adult, I was finally diagnosed with venous insufficiency and that Dr. said this was the cause. I did not believe her at first because I had been told otherwise so many times and spent countless hours exercising to try to build up weak things. But... I have only had it happen twice since I saw her and began wearing the compression hose so now I do believe she was right. I was diagnosed with scoliosis as a teen. Don't remember the exact age. I also came into the world being unable to eat. I wouldn't latch on to the breast and in those days there wasn't much in the way of formula. I could be wrong but I think they were still making it at home. At any rate, no matter what they tried to feed me, I threw it right back up. I was born underweight but tall and I was put in an incubator. My mom said that even when they started me on baby food, I spit it all back up and they did not think I would make it to a year old because I was so very underweight. After that, I remember being sick more often than I wasn't. Constant allergies. Sneezing, sore throat, cough, bronchitis, ear infections, sinus infections, eye infections, hives. I also threw up a lot. Had my tonsils out. Took allergy shots and countless pills. This stuff did not help. Then lo and behold, one day I learned of my food intolerances. And Bingo! This allergy stuff mostly stopped. Yes, I get hives sometimes and some seasonal allergies but it is nothing like what it used to be. I used to have a box of tissues in every room of the house and a big one in my car. I was constantly blowing my runny nose. I do have a runny nose today. We have a high pollen count. There is something this time of year that gets me every year for about two weeks. But it is still not like it used to be where I was constantly suffering. I fully believe that a lot of that was food related. And if I know that something is making me sick, I am not going to eat it. I can not say the same for some other people I know. They know that a food causes them problems but they eat it anyway then complain of the sinus infection or stomach pain or whatever. This makes me angry. I refuse to give sympathy to those who deliberatel are making themselves sick. > What she may need is more recipes like ths one of mine that she once > said she really liked.

I certainly never did. I never ate carrot soup and I never would. In fact now, I have a carrot intolerance. I love carrots and they are something that I put into nearly everything I ate which is likely why I have a problem with them now. But much like potatoes and corn, I suspect this will go away after I have laid off of them for a time. And although I do like carrots, carrot soup does not sound appealing and neither does the texture of a pureed food. Once again, you are confusing me with someone else. You seem to do that a lot. > > When the carrots are totally soft, use a stick blender or something to > puree it.

I'm glad that works for you. I can assure you that nobody in this house would eat that. We eat a lot of raw carrots. Cooked ones, not so much. I did used to put them in things like spaghetti sauce but no more since I can't eat them. It would seem that I was the carrot pig here as our carrot consumption has taken a nose dive. |

I remember an elderly neighbor talking about her husband. I had never met him as he died before I moved there. But from what she had told me, he sounded like a real bigot and a b-hole. He had built the building that we lived in. And there was an obvious lack of doors to the place. When I asked her about this, she mentioned something about the fact that way back when, your property taxes were partially based on the amount of doors. Not sure if this was true or not. She just said it. But then she added that Mr. C. also wouldn't have put up doors because he didn't want to spoil her. As she said that, I thought in the back of my mind... A person who will not spoil = b-hole. Yep. |
