A young woman has eaten her way through more than 13,000 jacket potatoes - because she has a phobia of almost all foods.
Claire Jones, 23, has panic attacks and is physically sick at the thought of eating proper meals.

Only if he’ll eat Ramen noodles and drink Natty Light.
Every kid does that. They eventually grow out of it. Why make an issue out of it?
He was sick ALL the time. In fact, he didn't last very long at the job because he was always calling in.
Every kid grows out of it because their parents make them eat different things.
My amateur diagnosis is she’s suffering from a slap-insufficiency.
Our pediatrician soon straightened ME out. "Let him fall once".
Sure enough...the next night he finally tired himself out and fell down...sighed and fell asleep....And so did mom and dad!!!
Now this kid...He sure as hell wasn't eating chicken nuggets and tater tots when he was little.
Mom....you need to re-train him. He'll never starve himself.
This 23 year old...honey if that's what you want to do...If you don't care....we don't care. You like all the attention though, dontcha.
No.....I’m sure Monk eats a “balanced” diet.
Or a pre-1847 Irishman.
Look, when I was preggers the only thing I could keep down was a dry baked potato with cooked fresh spinach and mozzarella cheese. You CAN live off them!
I'd tell her...."starve"...before I would cook for her. Brat!!
Hard to believe we really liked that game.
Potato skins are full of vitamins. When they called them ‘jacket’ potatoes, they didn’t say if she ate the jackets.
What a hockey puck.
Someone gave us a rabbit once since we had others. They warned us he would only eat a special high dollar feed, not the hay cubes ours get. After three days, he decided to try the hay cubes and after a week, he learned to love them. He lived out his remaining years here in perfect health.
You are correct. I eat one or two each week. Almost a perfect food combined with some form of protein and green veggie. You just can’t add all the heavy fats and cream.
I didn’t see her picture. Wasn’t in the mood for some milky white, fat nearly dead Brit woman. :) Who the heck is?
She looks healthy enough though I believe this is a result of parents being too accomodating rather than anything else. I was picky as a child. Didn’t like my food touching,crust on my bread, didn’t like green beans/peas/green peppers, didn’t like mashed potatos, didn’t like butter. Growing up cured me of most of my pickiness even though my Mom accomodated me far more than I’d ever accomodate my own children. I may be wrong but I believe this is an example of what has ruined a large segment of our youth in the western world. They not only are coddled but grow up not just expecting it but demanding it and now rather than being embarassed that she eats like a toddler she is getting celebrity for it. See if I were the parent. I’d have let her go a few meals without anything to eat and it wouldn’t be long before she’d have found something she could keep down. :-)
The child is eating only MSG. Both those products are full of this addictive taste enhancer. It’s like crack. He’s addicted. I swear I’d give him a day of ice cream - or two or three - to get him off those neurotoxins. He is heading toward a neurodegenerative disease at a fast pace.
