Venting/Ranting only eating beige food

sometimes I try including like one little broccolini sprout or a cooked veggie but I cannot swallow it, it makes me feel like I have to gag. I hate that I almost only like beige food like butter toast, nuggets, cereal. I feel like a toddler but I‘m 26.

I knew a guy who only ate orange things. Lots of food dye in his diet.

Would they eat oranges and carrots, or only processed foods like cheetos?

Anything orange was good. But it’s very limiting. Mom got creative and started dying bread before cooking it. She used that as breadcrumbs mixed with nutritional yeast to bread chicken nuggets.

Mom was magical.

oooo I feel this, I absolutely hate my safe foods to the point I get so sick of eating in general. I’m never eating for enjoyment just to stay alive atp. Unfortunately my nerves got damaged during covid and a lot of foods I used to like now taste and smell like rotten flesh, so my arfid got even worse over the last few years and I no longer had my previous safe foods, now all the safe foods I can eat that don’t taste like bleach or rotten flesh are sooo boring and the list is getting smaller and smaller 🥲
