Guest guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I don't like my food to touch, either. I will even use a different fork for different foods if I can. There are few things I don't like -- green beans and broccoli. So many people like broccoli, but it just tastes horribly bitter to me. The pickiest eater I know is a lady who doesn't eat any vegetables other than potatoes and corn (and no fruit). She pretty much lives on bread, pasta, meat, and cheese. Needless to say, she's not very healthy. I feel bad for her daughter, who is learning lots of bad eating habits. Audrey S.
