Extreme Food Compulsions





http://drphil.com/videos/?Url=/house/flv/9031_2.flv&background=header_drphil_video.jpg

Dr. Phil's "Extreme Food Compulsions" show which aired last week featured a lady who eats nothing but crinkle cut french fries, a college student who eats only raw beef, a man who eats pizza for every meal, in addition to the videos we watched as a class. In your opinion, which eating habit is the worst and why? Do you have any weird eating habits? If so, what are they?

I believe that the lady that will eat out of the trash and always thinks about food has the worst eating disorder. It is just disgusting and she really needs help. I do have a weird eating habit. I love to eat baby spinach salads all the time. At least I love to eat something healthy.

I think raw beef is the worst eating habit, because sometimes eating raw beef can result in salmonella. Also the bacteria, and the blood he consumes while eating it is just nasty. I actually don't have any weird eating habits, I love to enjoy food though.

I think all eating disorders come with negative effects. One isn’t any worse then another. However, I find it shocking that the women who drinks 24 cans of soda a day is still skinny. My unhealthy eating habit is that I drink energy drinks on a regular basis and I have at least one thing chocolate and one thing that has cheese in it a day. I just love the taste of chocolate, cheese, and energy drinks.

In my opinion eating raw beef is the worst. There are many types of diseases that you may accumulate. Raw beef is not health. When you eat it cooked you get the protein and benefits form it. When the beef is raw you don’t get the healthy things out of it. I do not have any weird eating habits. The worst thing I do is when I eat crab legs I literally eat till I can’t. There my favorite food.

In my opinion, eating chalk is a bad habit. I think chalk was poisonous but the lady eats it and she looks perfectly fine. Also, I do not understand how a 21 year old can drink 24 sodas in a day. I think she needs to get herself checked out. I like to eat lots of spicy food. I do not hink that is weird but gives your food a little kick.

Well obviously, if you eat too much of anything it is definitely considered unhealthy. Eating foods that are greasy and higher in calories is even worse. Food should be eaten in a balanced diet to maintain a healthy body. I do agree that people should have times where they can eat a little too much and enjoy themselves but, this should be moderated to maintain a healthy body. Sometimes I will only eat one thing on my plate at a time.

All I have to say about this is, WOW! Here we have a lady who eats chalk, a lady who eats out of trash cans, and one that drinks a case of sodas a day. It seems to me that people with disorders that binge and purge, usually have emotional problems and probably were bullied at some point in their life. The only eating habit that I'd say was weird is that I love to eat a whole can of black olives and drink the juice.

All of the eating habits we saw today were weird and a little disturbing. The one that I thought was the worst was the college student that only eats raw meat. I can’t imagine eating raw meat; this would be a really good source of protein after lifting weights though. I think I will stick with protein shakes and eggs. I can’t think of any weird thing I do when I eat.

The worst eating habit has to be the college student that eats raw beef. Raw beef is one of the most unhealthy things to eat. He could get any number of diseases and infections because insects and parasites sometimes live in raw foods. I do not have any weird eating habits. If something doesn't look or smell right I usually don't eat it.

Eating habits are almost the worst kind of habits; people cannot control what they eat or that way they eat. Eating only raw beef is the worst eating habit there is. Raw beef carries a lot of bacteria that can be harmful to the body or even kill you. I do not have any weird eating habits.

Unknown said...

I think that the eating raw beef is the worst. You suppose to cook beef then eat it. There is bacteria on the beef that’s the main reason people cook it. I think the weirdest eating habit I had was eating salt. I used to take a small pack of salt pour it on a spoon and eat it. I never use to eat the whole pack just two spoonfuls. Then I realize that eating salt contributes to high blood pressure so I stopped.

Sam said...

I think the worst eating habit is the chalk eating. I think that is disgusting, why would you eat chalk even if it is just soft rock. I get the raw beef thing because some cultures eat raw meat. That’s just a culture thing. I do not have any weird eating habits, at least not that I have noticed.

All eat habits aren’t always bad. In my opinion, throwing up after you eat food is one of the worst eating habits someone can have. This is because you are causing many different problems within your body like your stomach and also within your mouth. I don’t think I have a horrible eating disorder or one at all. The only weird habit that I have is eating is that I always drink cranberry- raspberry juice at every meal.

The worst one would probably have to be the lady that eats chalk, at least everyone else just ate food. I really don't think that eating chalk can be even the least bit healthy for a person to eat. I don't have any weird habits.

I feel sorry for the woman who drinks 24 sodas a day. If she keeps drinking that much soda then she will die. I thought she would be huge and ugly but she ended up being hot and looked like she was in good shape. I don’t mind that she drinks a lot of soda I would still date her. Maybe if she gave me a shot I could change her soda habit.

Unknown said...

I think the worst condition are the people with the eating disorder. I also think 24 sodas a day is really bad. The girl that eats chalk is weird. Why would you want to eat chalk? I would think that there was something poisining that could kill you but looks like a lot of people like chalk. I am deffenately not eating chalk. These kind of people confuse me. It is just weird. I really don't know if I have any weird things that I do. I have really never thought about it. What I do I think is normal I think. haha

Olivia said...

The worst eating habit is the woman who ate food out of the trash. It's different if you don't have a choice. She doesn't have to eat out of the trash can. The lady who eats chalk was pretty weird too. I don't have any weird eating habits.

I think the Soda drinking is the worst. That's really unhealthy and expensive she's gonna die. I think that the chalk eating is really weird. I don't have any weird eating habits other than ketchup.

Personally, I think all eating disorders are equal. Each one of them are dangerous and unhealthy. I don't think I have any abnormal eating habits. I love french fries, ice cream, and tacos. I put Taco Bell taco sauce on my Doritos, but thats not that weird. I'm just glad I don't have a eating disorder.

Unknown said...

The worst would be the bingeing and purging because those can do a lot of damage. I think one of my habits is mixing stuff like food and drinks. I like mixing sodas.

Unknown said...

I think the raw beef or chalk habit is the worst habit of them all. People are so crazy, with some of the habits they have. Everyone is different when it comes to food I suppose. I don't have many weird habits with food; at least I don't think so. I absolutely can not eat pizza without ranch or honey mustard, also I like Doritos with ranch, or fries with my frosty from Wendy’s. Something’s you never think would be good actually end up being really tasty.

Unknown said...

The worst eating habit is the one who eats nothing but raw beef! That one is just nasty, I don't think that I could ever eat nothing but raw beef. I don't think I have a weird eating habit. But I so know people who do have weird eating habits. Some of them eat noddles with ketchup, and some eat just raw noddles. I think that all of this is just funny though.

I think that the girl who eats out of the trash and then purges and then binges. She does not know if someone has spat in the trash or not. That is unless she is home all day. I think this is the worst eating habit because it can make that lady really sick! I mean she could get sick and not know what she is sick with cause she ate out of the trash. I do not think I have any weird eating habits. Which I am glad I do not have a eating habit.

I think the lady eating chalk is the most weird. I say this because chalk is something you write with, not eat! I've come to find alot of people like it. I still don't think it's healthy for you to eat chalk.

Anndrea said...

The raw beef is the worst eating habit because its raw and it's obvious that you can get sick off of it. I don't have any weird eating habits. But I do have habits of eating 3 snacks and two dinner plates when I get home. I don't eat at school either!

Unknown said...

I think eating chalk is so nasty, I could never ever do that. I eat things like Blizzards and French fries, or I put peanut butter on my oreos. I don’t think that is weird cause its normal food.
