I always thought eating what you wanted was one of those aspects of adulthood to be looked forward to when you were a child.

In later years, I craved foods that were almost always fattening.

I try to eat how your mother wanted you to eat when you were young.

When I was a kid, I hated everything. I was really skinny, and I'd have a milkshake with an egg in it. Growing up, I ate, like, five different foods. I was not an adventurous eater. But as soon as I left home, that all changed and from that point on, I've been a pretty enthusiastic eater of new and strange food.

As I've gotten older, I've had to change my food intake.

During my teenage years, I rebelled and ate everything under the sun, but when I was 18 or 19, I became vegetarian-focused and got disgusted by meat.

I've never eaten just a few bites of things I liked in my life.

According to my mother, there pretty much wasn't anything I wouldn't eat as a child. Not just try, but eat. I was even inclined to dig into stuff about which she expressed open disgust - lobster and other shellfish, and cheap Chinese food with pepper so hot it made your gums feel like a medieval dentist had been at them.

I was not created to be occupied by eating delicious foods like tied up cattle.
