Do you know anyone who doesn't like eating?

Obviously I am asking here, in the food section, so unsure we'll get a first hand account!

I was chatting to my brother and he casually said he doesn't 'enjoy' eating. He doesn't get any pleasure in it so is perfectly fine with the same handful of meals each day. He has no interest in trying new food and the idea of saying 'wow this tastes great' or something like that...truly baffles him.

He eats to function. He isn't slim or overweight so this isn't an eating disorder thread. It is literally understanding some people can be truly not bothered about food.

Do you know anyone like this? To me, a true food lover, I almost fell over in shock.

Is this somewhat not part of the problem? If you eat the same **** day in day out, then i can't imagine the thought of food in general would excite you.

He probably needs a really good meal out, or a good takeaway to get him thinking food can be great.

I do agree actually and its a good point. He has a new girlfriend so maybe he'll be introduced to new foods and start to enjoy things.

He does like Dominos but he just gets the same thing all the time...and its awful. The cheeseburger one.

Cheeseburger pizza from Domino’s?

Obviously the black sheep of the family. Disown him.

My best mate can live on McCains chips & crisps and doesn't have any interest in anything else - he's 53.
He went abroad one year so I asked his girlfriend what he had to eat, basically he had a plate of chips for dinner & tea and they bought packets of crisps from the supermarket.

No way could i tolerate a partner doing this. He must he incredible in bed.
