Teen Eats Nothing but Pizza for 8 Years.
We like pizza as much as anyone else, but we're not sure we could eat it exclusively for eight years. But Sophie Ray, a 19-year-old from Wales, has done just that ... and she can't stomach the thought of eating anything else, The Daily Mail reports.
Ray subsides on up to three Margherita pizzas per day, but it's not just a joke: She suffers from a rare condition called Selective Eating Disorder (SED), which means she has a phobia of almost all foods, the Mail reports. Her issue began when she caught a stomach bug at 2 years old, which made her fear food. For a while, she could only eat cheesy pasta, chips and lemon curd sandwiches, but since she turned 11, it's all about pizza -- without any toppings.
"I love pizza, each brand offers a new flavor, but it’s all the same food so I don’t have to try new foods," the performing arts student said. "The thought of trying other foods makes me very anxious, I feel sick and really clam up." Needless to say, Ray is missing out on fruits and veggies, eating a lot of saturated fat and salt and not getting the vitamins and nutrients she needs. Do you think you could live on pizza for eight years?

There is this one guy who all the time ate pizza and he was eating everyday for awhile and then this guy had to do a challenge to not eat pizza and eat a well balanced diet and it turns out if you eat pizza every single day you could get diabetes because the store bought ones are filled with salt and lots of ingredients that doesn't need to be there. Homemade pizza is fine because you wouldn't need to put so much sodium on the pizza and could put in whatever toppings on it. And there is so many different combinations. Side: Gross
