My brother describes it as a stupid obligation that he’d replace with a single nutrient pill a day if he could. No disorders or anything as far as we know, he just gets zero joy from food and is quite happy eating purely as fuel.
My fat ass wishes I had his attitude. I fucking love food.
I worked with a guy who hated eating. He keeps to a few specific items to maintain his active lifestyle but he hates food. It’s just fuel to keep the body going for him
Yes. Sometimes I’ll get a good craving but I’m usually nauseous before I finish. It isn’t all the time but I eat one meal a day? Two is pushing it. And a snack or two?
If I can, I’ll do protein veggie smoothies to get down as much greens as I can manage.
When I was a kid, I hated eating. So much so that my parents carted me around to many doctors in their efforts to figure out how to get me to eat. Eventually, we moved to Spain. After that, there was no problem. I think it was just that American food sucks.
I mean I can’t say it’s enjoyable but I don’t hate it either
Like yeah there are some good foods out there and they can be enjoyable but just like average day-to-day eating to get through the day is not particularly enjoyable
As a kid, I hated that I had to leave whatever craft session or game I was in the middle of and go to eat. I’m Muslim and remember always getting excited that I can paint all day and finish my painting in one sitting whenever we would fast, hahaha
I used to buy protein powders at my local GNC. I suppose this is typical for GNC hiring practices but the employees were all gym rats. I remember talking with one woman who was setting up a wheat grass drink that looked as appetizing as eating actual grass. When I asked her about it she said that in her head it’s not really food anymore. It’s just fuel.
Yes. I hate to eat. I wish there was a pill that I could take once a day that would give me 100% my daily value of everything I need, and I’d never fucking eat again.
I don’t really look at it as a fun activity. I eat cause you have to eat to live. I’m not picky and it’s not that I don’t think food tastes good, but if I suddenly no longer had the need to eat I wouldn’t. It’s kind of a chore.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten slightly better at it and found food I dislike less. That said, I worked out hardcore for a year, consuming mostly protein isolate and supplement shakes. Zero problem in my book, about as much/little fun as anything and at least there was zero question what I was going to eat.

Yes
Me. I do it to stay alive. See “ARFID”
Me. Just eat because I have to.

If nothing else, you’ll hate it after botched dental work. Source: I had botched dental work and it was extremely painful to eat for ~2 months.
When I was depressed I didn’t.
I have an eating disorder, yes. I hate eating.
The guy who created Soylent
Me. I don’t really understand the appeal. I eat because I have to, but I would much rather do something else with my time.

I’m mixed. I hate the act of eating… but love the taste.

I hate eating. My mother loved to ridicule her children at the dinner table and we all have food issues.
I don’t enjoy eating in restaurants because my social anxiety builds until I get so focused on swallowing my food that I can’t do it.
I enjoy some meals. Others, I wish I could swallow a pill.
And digestive issues can be horrible.
I HATE. HATE EATING. ME. ITS ME. I drink meal replacements constantly. Most things just taste fucking BAD.
It’s just boring. Just a sandwich will do, and give me the opportunity to eat it quick at home and then get on with the important stuff

Me. I do not enjoy eating at all.
I work with an older guy that hates eating. He will sit and drink a carton of milk on his breaks.
I don’t enjoy like I once did since Covid killed my taste buds.

The GLP-1 I take (tirzepatide) has made eating “bleh” (it’s a welcome change from thinking about food all day/every day)
People who are dieting to bulk or cut probably.
I know of people who only eat because they have to for survival reasons.
I don’t like eating because it feels like a chore. Also probably why I don’t gain weight
My brother-in-law would happily eat the same thing every day.
Myself, I love eating. I don’t repeat meals twice in the same month if I can help it. (Leftovers are the exception there.)
Yes. I hate to eat. I wish there was a pill that I could take once a day that would give me 100% my daily value of everything I need, and I’d never fucking eat again.
Me!!! I eat for sustenance.
