Boy who has eaten nothing but sausages his whole life has been cured

Ever since he can remember, 15-year-old Ben Simpson has eaten only sausage.

His limited dietary preferences began when his mom Wendy Hughes began weening him off breastmilk. Soon, his pickiness gave way to several years of consuming only breakfast-style sausages and water, three times a day, every day.

Hughes, 55, told SWNS that she was at her wit’s end by the time she called David Kilmurry, a cognitive behavioral hypnotherapist who believed he could shake the teenager’s bizarre eating habits — a clinical condition called Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).

I’d rather be this guy than Klimate Kween Greta. She only eats rice and pancakes.

“Why is this news?”

Because all work (or all politics) makes Jack a dull boy.

We have four kids too, now grown. We made it real clear we were not short order cooks. There was one menu for the family meal and if they didn't want it, there was the peanut butter jar - or an empty tummy. They usually found something they would eat.

On the other hand, we never made mealtime a battle, the way I've seen some parents do. We figured the will to live being a pretty basic human instinct, they'd eat enough to meet their needs.

They're happy and healthy adults with no eating disorders.

My parents told us fine...go to bed hungry.

Could have had a pica.

Title of article is not true if the text is read. The boy fed on breast milk till weaned...then would eat finger foods as a child. He did not eat only sausage his whole life. Nick...you may have fallen for new form of clickbait!

George Steinbrenner liked to eat eggplant Calzone for lunch everyday.

There are no more editors. And if there are, they’re terrible at their jobs.

I’d venture to say it makes Jack an informed boy.

My son was very picky, too. He went through a period where he only ate pb&j sandwiches, chicken nuggets, Mickey Dee hash browns and hot dogs. Today he is 35 and eats much more variety, but still loves those chicken nuggets and Micky Dee hash browns.

I once ate Mac & cheese for most every meal for 8 months. Mainly cause I was a bum and that was all I could afford on blood plasma money.

I called it the $2 a day meal plan. 2 boxes of mac & cheese and a 2 liter Pepsi!
