for those of us who had food restrictions like, in my case, red meat is not good for me, no nuts, no seeds, no spices, then it is boring and repetitive.
add mental health issues into the mix, economic restrictions and CFS/ME and its hard. Very hard. I am surprised you think its the persons fault for not trying hard enough.
Most of us are just doing the best we can.
I think we often build walls in our own minds, and that if we built them, we also have the option to tear them down.
Assigning blame and trying to imply guilt is wholly inappropriate here. And I don’t believe in the victim mindset.
As mentioned above, I am currently eating carnivore. I am not doing it for fun. I can’t eat fibre in the form of veg, because my guts don’t like it. I cankt eat carbs because I control my blood glucose and do better keto. I have multiple food intolerances and reactions. My food choices are terribly restricted, and have been getting progessively more so for years. The last 11 months are something I have never expected, and would never have chosen.
Boredom on top of that? Nope. Not a choice I am going to make.
But, obviously, we all get to make our own choices, don’t we?
