Hi! I’m Bethany and I’m 21, also vegetarian. I found this website while looking into picky eating. I have always been a picky eater since I was a baby. I cannot stand the appearance, smell and textures of most foods. I will not eat anything wet, and I pretty much burn any food I have to make sure it is dry. I’m limited to “childlike food” like quorn nuggets and chips and it has been a pain my whole life! I hate having to explain myself to people and have them tell me I’m missing out. People have tried pressuring me to try foods because I haven’t tried them before as It means I don’t know if I like it, but if it doesn’t look okay or smells bad I will not touch it and it seems to annoy people that I’m not willing to try new foods.
But It’s nice to read the comments and see that there are many other people out there who have been and are experiencing the same thing. Thank you for creating a website and bringing everyone together.
