Just to clarify – this blog is not defunct, though a person could be forgiven for thinking that it was.
Unfortunately I just don’t have enough time at the moment to keep up with posting as regularly as I’d like – or, conveniently enough, to keep up with my fruit-trying project, either. So I’d just like to apologise for the infrequency of posts recently.
And I’d like to say a hello and a welcome to those of you who have come across this site for the first time recently, and to those of you who are visiting from academia, and especially a thank you to those of you who have taken the time to comment. No comment is too short, and no life story is too long.
I hope to bring you some decent posts in the near future – in the meantime, I really suggest you subscribe to post and comments feeds, so you know when something’s new.
It is true that we feel very alone, and until quite recently I too have hidden and avoided social functions. And I am 58 and a professional businessman.
But despite reading comments from people and being able to identify with them (admittedly a big step forward), I cannot see anything that may even hint at a solution.
Is there anyone other than the lucky ones who agreed to appear on Freaky Eaters who now eats “normally”
And I would love to hear from anyone at all who could guide me in that direction.
Just ran across your blog. I have come to believe that I am a “supertaster.” Perhaps some of you might be interested in this:

Somehow I find it a little more comforting to think there is something weird about my tongue than something weird about my brain.
Hi Claire, I just stumbled upon your blog, and though I’m not a “picky eater” myself (well, vegetarianism aside) I’ve enjoyed reading very much. I think anyone who struggles with anxiety can identify with what you’ve been doing, and would find your confrontation of your challenges as inspiring as I do. Please don’t give up! I’m rooting for you!
Hi Everyone
I’m fascinated to read all about this. I’m writing an article for a monthly magazine about Selective Eating Disorder and wondered if anyone would care to participate? Don’t worry, it’s a serious health report, not sensationalist rubbish. If you’d like to know more please contact me on kate_corr@tiscali.co.uk
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
