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.

Kids go through stages with their eating habits. When my son was five, he would only eat beets and cottage cheese, with my daughter at slightly younger it was Mr. Wiggle (jello) and hot dogs, one grandson only hot dogs, bananas and scrambled eggs, the other chicken nuggets and tater tots.
I made my son sit at the table one time until he ate one cooked green bean. Five hours later he was still there as was the green bean. Yes I let him get up from the table. He finally began slowly adding things to his diet like pasta dishes, as long as nothing was all mixed together. He’s now 50, very healthy, still eats beets and cottage cheese as well as a lot of other things. But he wouldn’t eat a green bean if his life depended on it.
half baked.
Or perhaps a vitamin powder?
Cute Tatoo! Looks like “Forever.” Is that in loveing memory of some past Mr Potato-head?
It will pass for most. My mother tells me for a year I would only eat one thing. The threats to starve, sit at the table all night, etc., didn't work at all. I would only eat one thing. Now I go to the buffet occasionally when I can afford to and eat all kinds of things. Still no broccoli, though.
I get that, but look at what your mother did
“The threats to starve, sit at the table all night, etc”
Your mother fought the battle, and eventually won. It may have been hard fought, but she proved the victor after a long while.
I fear that by not pushing the point and fearing their son being upset more than healthy, their son is winning the long war.
No, that isn't correct, except by happenstance. I (just like many other kids) exited that phase with the passage of time and lost the aversion to other foods. My mother at 95, however, still will ask me "what did you eat today?".
She’s gotta be Irish
I’d be impressed if she sate them all at one setting.

The Irish survived and I don’t think they even had coleslaw.......
You don’t say.
Well at least she’d be a cheap date. A potato for her and a porterhouse for me.
The day they took the Cheese out of Cheez Whiz
Read it and weep! :)
Looks like she is turning into a big white potato!
That is really racist! I didn’t know that Barack and Michelle are Irish.
Before I even look, lemmee guess.
She weighs 98 lbs!
