this disconnection with food is actually called arfid (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder). there’s a lack of interest towards food and what others consider “picky eating”. as someone who struggles with arfid, it is so reassuring to hear a public figure be open about their relationship with food.

wow, I did not know that there was actually a name for this avoidance of food intake. Very interesting.

Me too. Plus poverty. My folks sometimes just explained it that once a month is “‘government cheese day” and hopefully a paycheck day (we lived in very remote and economically absent areas a lot), otherwise beans and rice and the garden or what we could gather in the hills or fish for was good. Or, well “we fast on weekends “, or whenever. My husband and his brother couldn’t fathom why i got wrecked emotionally when just as the pandemic quarantine was beginning, they took half our pantry and aimed to throw it out because some of it (even when perfectly fine and stable) was approaching the best by date! One doesn’t have to wonder far why i developed a lifelong anxiety based eating disorder. Still, i find it cruel to be so wealthy and deny your children the stability of food.

I honestly think it's about the way you grow up. My parents never ever bribed me with food. They never said if you're good, or of you just do this, or if you're just quiet you'll get mcdonalds or lollies or chocolate. Never. Ever. There were never any treats in the fridge or pantry, just normal food. If you raise a child by telling them food is a reward, you have set up the child for life with an issue.
