CHAMBERMAID Debbie Taylor eats nothing but Monster Munch, and has done for the past ten years.
The 31-year-old says: “I was 11 when I last ate a proper meal. I think it was a roast dinner with vegetables. For the past ten years I have lived on nothing but beef Monster Munch crisps.

“Throughout my teens I had trouble with food, going through periods of anorexia and bulimia.

“Around the age of 15 I started selective eating. I thought it was a sign my anorexia and bulimia were getting better.

“I began with toast sprinkled with salt. I enjoyed the taste and the lack of fatty butter or margarine.

“A few years later I moved to dry roasted peanuts, then came custard creams and finally beef-flavoured Monster Munch.

“They don’t make me sick or leave me feeling full. I love the taste and sometimes, if I’m lucky, there will be a ball of pure flavouring at the bottom of the pack. Usually I eat three 45g bags a day – two in the afternoon and one in the evening.

“If I overdo it I get a sore throat because of the additives and have to drink lots of tea or Coca-Cola, which are the only liquids I consume.”

Debbie, lives with partner Gerald, 55, and her 11-year-old son Luke in Harlow, Essex. She says: “They just have to put up with me. When I was pregnant I made sure to eat properly and I still cook them both wholesome food.

“I know I have a bad diet. My nails don’t grow much and just break off. When I brush my teeth my gums bleed.

“It’s not healthy but then neither is smoking and lots of people do that.

“I have tried to eat normally but the tummy pain I get isn’t worth it. The doctor reckons it is because my stomach has shrunk so much.

“I know it sounds crazy but I don’t see myself changing my eating habits any time soon.”

Selective eating like Debbie’s is recognised as an eating disorder with serious health implications.

Susan Ringwood, of eating disorder charity Beat, says: “Previously, selective eaters were seen as youngsters, particularly boys, who survive solely on things like chips and sandwiches.

“Recent research shows more adults are doing it too although there is no data to know exactly how prevalent it is.”

Sufferers typically focus on consuming just a few types of high-fat or carbohydrate food and can go for years without eating anything else.

Experts believe such dedication reflects deeper issues which must be addressed to overcome the illness.

Susan says: “We are learning more about the reasons someone becomes anorexic, bulimic or starts to eat selectively.

“Often people are genetically hard-wired to be vulnerable to eating disorders and various societal and cultural factors can trigger their development.

“Selective eaters may be feeling their world is spinning out of control. One way to impose order on the chaos is to restrict their diet.

“If you suspect someone is a selective eater you shouldn’t challenge them about their diet.

“Ask if there is anything going on they would like to talk about.

“Their thoughts and feelings are the real issue, not the food.”

Here, three more selective eaters share their experiences.
