Did anyone post the Iron Chef Something Awful where a goon cooked a phenomenal gourmet meal on a ratty little stove crammed into the corner of a dusty flat that looked like it belonged in a depressing French film about a war? That, and, "anything to get the taste of your chili out of their mouths," are probably the best things to ever come out of that forum.

I used to go on camping/fishing trips in the southwest desert in the summer and even sitting around playing dominoes could wear you out in a few hours if you weren't constantly drinking water.

OH this was the right thread, we're discussing this same saga in two different threads LOL. ... The guy with the cart was in Marin, so north of SF. His wal-mart cart destroyed itself on the trails within a couple miles so he just dumped it in the woods. He was a very picky eater and so he attempted to survive on nothing but raisins. Eventually he made it to a ranger station literally like four miles into his grueling adventure and passed out there (not slept, lost consciousness due to lack of food), hung around for half a day, and then went home. His entire preparation for this cross-the-nation hike to raise awareness for mental health consisted of posting a thread with pictures of a couple hundred bucks of wal-mart "supplies" and reading a couple websites about other people who pushed carts for long-distance travel, and bringing some raisins to eat because IIRC he literally only eats like four things and three of them are only available from certain specific fast food joints. His route was going to take him across the hottest parts of the desert southwest in the middle of summer until goons convinced him for pages and pages to take a more notherly route, which he eventually begrudgingly accepted as a possible option. This adventure was going to cure him of his crippling depression.

Oh you're a "supertaster," well, it's still beans maize and squash, rear end in a top hat. Eat or die.

The brain actually has ways to make even terrible food appetizing if that's all that's available. What your tastes are is actually very heavily influenced by what you ate growing up which, for most of human history, was "whatever we can find here." It's extremely unlikely that somebody would starve to death from not finding the local staples appetizing if that's literally all that was available. One of the reasons our tastes are loving up and obesity is rampant is because we're our own worst enemies when it comes to food. We're wired to eat the best foods first (note that every ancient culture has a god of the hunt and probably a god of farming but absolutely nobody had a god of that random poo poo we dig up and eat when there's nothing else available) and move down from there. But thanks to the effectively infinite availability of just everything in modern society our tastes are getting screwed up. Depression also fucks up tastes so if the guy was depressed he was probably focusing on bad food because, well, depression just does that. Which is problematic because garbage fast food actually makes you more depressed.

necroid posted:lol there are so many hosed up things on this planet but picky eaters are one of those that I despise the most It's pretty damning that picky eaters as a group are far more prolific in the US and the UK. Sure some kids develop a genuine psychological to certain tastes or textures but it's strange for some reason all other picky eaters will scarf down any kind of prepackaged, fast, delivery, or frozen convenience food but they almost all can't handle any fruits or vegetables. Has there ever been a thread or A/T from someone trying to claim they were a picky eater and defending the McDonald's-like diet they follow? There was the Bluestory mess about how she and her husband only ever ate out, the husband had an "oral sensitivity allergy" to all fruits and vegetables, and Bluestory found boiling water for pasta to be too trying.

There's a very real possibility that fast food garbage was the majority of what they ate growing up. America doesn't have the best relationship with food; food deserts are depressingly common, school lunches loving suck, and if both parents are working two or three part time jobs each just to get by there's a very real possibility that every meal comes out of the freezer. This is especially a problem among poor families that for a variety of reasons just can't get easy access to fresh fruits and vegetables. So if you grow up eating mostly McDonald's, pizza, and salty frozen dinners that's what you're probably going to prefer as an adult.

I've got a good friend who is a supertaster and picky eater. I knew him growing up. His dad home-cooked good food all the time. But by the time he was a teenager he was routinely just not eating that and getting himself mcdonalds instead, and his parents allowed it. Perhaps they didn't want to fight with him about it because he was also (surprise!) depressed and dealing with various other issues. He's a reasonable person and he is always willing to at least taste something new, I've taken him out to good restaurants or made him good food and he gamely tries stuff. But sometimes he gags on it and other times he just politely says he doesn't care for it. He knows it's terrible and tries not to make a big deal out of it, but at the age of 43 its not something he's going to grow out of and I have to imagine his steady diet of pizza, mcdonalds, spaghetti, and togos turkey sandwich with half meat double cheese is going to somehow limit his lifespand or cause health problems later. There is very obviously a psychological component to it but I don't think it's as simple as just parents not forcing them to eat strange food. At least, not always. At least he has no illusions about attempting cross-country hikes on 100 calories of raisins. That guy was not just depressed, he was a loving idiot.
