Food for thought.

Yesterday while preparing my special Sunday dinner, the thought crossed my mind that not everyone likes or enjoys food - for some , eating is like a chore which must be done in order to sustain life.
I know food lovers would find it difficult to understand - how could someone not enjoy eating a well prepared, tasty dish? These persons who hate food are not ill or poor - they can buy anything they want, but find no pleasure in eating.
I may be picky about what I eat, but I love my food. What about you - do you enjoy eating? - and do you know anyone who doesn't? What food or drink would you hate to be forced to give up?

I love eating and really I'm not too picky . . . but kids can be real picky and for them eating a meal they are not too fond of can be a chore 
. We have heard of this one girl in 4th grade who eats like a bird . . . hardly eats food at school and her mom says she barely eats at home too (yet she is for sure growing and thriving!). Even though high carb foods are not good for us, I would hate to give up my rice, bread, and pastas. Oh - and I could never be vegan either - I love my meats too much!

I stopped eating meats 14 years ago, and I enjoy whatever else I eat - I make sure it is tasty. My son was a very picky eater up to age eight - I recall how relieved I was on those occasions when I found something that he was willing to eat. I would hate to give up my homemade bread and fruitcake.1 person likes this

The reason for not being able to enjoy food is either physical (loss of sense of taste/smell or loss of appetite due to medical conditions) or psychological (fear of gaining weight, food poisoning, allergic reactions). But yes, it's hard to believe there are people who don't like to eat at all. 
I'm a foodie, of course, there's food I don't like. Pizza and chocolate, I would rather not give them up.

I love food. I think that I would miss cheese and vegetables the most.

I like food way too much while my mom hated to eat and always wished they would invent a pill so she wouldn't have to cook or eat.

Never met anyone who hated food or to eat. I think if someone does then they have a medical issue.

@andriaperry That's right. Those eating disorders make people gag at the mere thought of food.

@Kandae11 Could be a reason some people do not enjoy eating.

@crossbones27 There are a few of life's pleasures which some people just do not enjoy - and those who do, cannot understand why they don't .

I think that those who mainly east to survive are few and far between.
I would hope I could manage giving up anything if it were necessary, as I do that from time to time already.

@Kandae11 I saw that. Although I do wonder whether each person that didn't enjoy eating anything wasn't missing something since that's not really normal.

Yes, I love eating I could die if I don't eat. But I know there are some people who don't enjoy eating not because they don't want to or picky but they have an eating disorder. I think I couldn't give up eating rice and drinking hot chocolate.
