this disconnection with food is actually called arfid (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder). there’s a lack of interest towards food and what others consider “picky eating”. as someone who struggles with arfid, it is so reassuring to hear a public figure be open about their relationship with food.
Me too. Plus poverty. My folks sometimes just explained it that once a month is “‘government cheese day” and hopefully a paycheck day (we lived in very remote and economically absent areas a lot), otherwise beans and rice and the garden or what we could gather in the hills or fish for was good. Or, well “we fast on weekends “, or whenever. My husband and his brother couldn’t fathom why i got wrecked emotionally when just as the pandemic quarantine was beginning, they took half our pantry and aimed to throw it out because some of it (even when perfectly fine and stable) was approaching the best by date! One doesn’t have to wonder far why i developed a lifelong anxiety based eating disorder. Still, i find it cruel to be so wealthy and deny your children the stability of food.
Well I never thought that this could be the case... I am always portrait as the lousiest eater of the family... Honestly I don't like eating at all... It's like chore or part of the day I have to go through... Never hungry (sometimes yes, but mostly no) I joke that I eat to live not the other way around... But I guess you are right... wow... Thanks for sharing
One year I had chronic pain plus was depressed and anxious because of the pain and thinking I may never get better. It was actually difficult for me to eat that year and I lost 10 lbs. And usually, all I think about is food and what I'm going to have for my next meal (mostly plant based; eating animals is yuck!)
I worked with a woman who was exactly like this...she always said eating was no more exciting than brushing her teeth or combing her hair. She had to remind herself to eat...I WISH I had this issue!
Me too, I eat when I am hungry. My son is exactly the same. His Dad loves food and cooks a lot but he is not that interested. Just eats when he is hungry. Genetics maybe?
I'm exactly the same..I couldn't care less about food. I dont understand the whole worlds obsession with food. If I could just take a pill in the morning and be done with it, it would be a relief. I honestly think it's about the way you grow up. My parents never ever bribed me with food. They never said if you're good, or of you just do this, or if you're just quiet you'll get mcdonalds or lollies or chocolate. Never. Ever. There were never any treats in the fridge or pantry, just normal food. If you raise a child by telling them food is a reward, you have set up the child for life with an issue.
What a horrid, tragic, sad existence...... Not to mention that it would be zero fun to be around. Food is culture at every level, it is the thing unites humans of all stripes, we all eat and to share that experience, it is the one that opens dialog and finds commonality. You are not missing out on food, you ae missing out on LIFE...
@@Stillnapie I disagree. You do not have to have food to have life. This is just silly. Yes, you can enjoy food with your friends and family, but your life experiences do not have to be centered around food. And there is plenty of fun to be had in doing things that do not involve a meal.
@@Stillnapie My dear.....Life is a Person. Do you worship food? I've done two forty day juice fasts and several smaller fasts in between. Once you go 6 weeks without food, you realize its not that important. The real you is a spirit that has a soul that moves in a body.
Ranch DuBois exactly she was a model they hv no good in house lol and it’s a disease so really can’t blame her although she could of got help 🙏🙏 BUT ITS A REAL DISEASE
It's kind of sad that while growing up his mother kept her refrigerator as if she was a bachelor. They could have afforded a cook. There are wealthy successful people who do cook at times but I guess Gloria was busy with her empire and galavanting around town at night. Nothing is perfect but the way you're raised when small can have a huge impact on one's life.
A mama's boy is someone who cares of what his mom thinks of him and he never will say or do anything to disrespect the relationship. In other words deep love and respect.
i had a boyfriend like that. he would go for a few days without eating and after a couple of days would be surprised he felt hungry. he really didnt care about food or eating. we were doomed !!!
I’m the same way! I grew up as a really picky eater but was forced to eat what was served. I kind of separated how I felt about the food from the act of eating it to make it easier to eat food I found disgusting. Now that I’m older and can choose what I eat it’s a bit better, but even now I just don’t really have a connection or positive associations with food.
I read in a fascinating book called The Wasp Mystique (this was a PhD thesis by a New School - in Manhattan - PhD candidate that was so good it was turned into a book) way back in the 80s as I recall, that this is typical of WASP (meaning white Anglo Saxon Protestant) household - some booze and almost no food!
I think he had an isolated lonely childhood. His mom had a sad childhood despite her wealth, so it stands to reason. He grew up well all things considered.
I am kind of the same with food. I enjoy cooking and good food but 90% of the time I would rather save time and eat quick simple meals. If there was a true 100% meal replacement drink you could drink and not have to consume anything else that would be fine with me.
Lovely, intelligent, very special person.You are so loved Anderson Cooper.I wish I knew you personally, I would have been so proud knowing you. Bless you 🙏🏻
My husband is exactly the same reaction to food! Very depressing for tubby me, but I realized recently that he has a compromised sense of smell!!!!! If you have sinus or a head cold, your food tastes like cardboard. I think he has no ability to appreciate the divine flavours of, say, lemon meringue 😋,
Weird having no food in the kitchen and you have children around.What the hell are they going to eat. And this is a millionaire's home.Weird Weird Weird.
But his own story essentially showed that he loved to eat food when he was a kid... probably just adapted to not having proper food by becoming disinterested in it
Let me guess.. His mother wasn’t a real “mother” in the nurturing sense, didn’t give him the sustenance, too rich to eat I guess.. Vanderbilts; explains main reason why he went the other way.. became gay.
I'll tell you, I deal with pretty heavy depression, and I'm not claiming he is coopers doing great, but a lot of the time for me it's just one more thing to deal with, or like over the summer I tend to lose my appetite, so I have a garden and I just pick at my fruits and veggies just enough to feel not hungry lol.
Everyone has a different level of appetite that they inherit genetically.. no one would starve themselves though, some people only eat when they’re hungry.. to survive.
1. I loved the idea for a documentary of anderson living with him mom for a month. (and yeah, rest in peace anderson's mom.) 2. he just lacks enjoyment from it. it's weird but it is what it is. a personal chef won't change it: he has full access to good food (he lives in NYC and fwiw, by his own account, he used to like food (his story about going over to friends' house = nirvana) but he doesn't care now. which suggests it isn't about whether the food is chef-y
@@op3129 Like he said and you said,he loved it when he went by his friends house. I think because his mom had only 2 things in the frig., he lost interest.Or he'd be different.
When I was young and much too busy mother and housewife I used to wish I cold just take a pill. Think of the time it would save on shopping, cooking, dishes.
I had shingles and for more than 7 weeks I could not eat.I had fever everyday and pain and burning sensation in the affected area and that robbed me of my appetite. I only drank Ensure ,water and tea.Had no desire for my favourite foods .But hey I was sick sick sick.Not a big eater but I need tasty food.
@@deathbeforedecaf7755 I feel sorry for anyone who knows YOU, I've scrolled through and seen you comment on multiple people's posts. you're SO judgmental of others! It's sad!
Nothing tastes as good as being in-shape feels. Food is only to be eaten cautiously for sustenance - not shoveled into your gullet mindlessly for pleasure.
This fascinated me! Do you think Anderson has some kind of weak taste buds or some kind of compromised sense of smell? I say this because I get like this when I have a cold and can’t really smell very well or taste. That is the only time that eating isn’t enjoyable!
Me too I would love to do without food, just like Anderson so I would have time to do more interesting things. And indeed we have to eat to stay a live. But when a good meal is presented I will certainly not refuse it. :)
Crazy weird. I’d resent that my rich mom didn’t feed me. Bullshit that he had baked potato or ice cream for breakfast. Where did it come from? Neither was mentioned earlier in the discussion. Terrible mother.
@@kimkincaid5667 I'm sure it was something like they had no food much of the time, but sometimes they did. Or maybe for a few years they did and a few years they didnt. Everything's not all black and white.
I can never understand that way of thinking because I love food. I love cooking, eating, I love the history of dishes. I love how food automatically transports you to a certain place, memory or feeling. Everything about it.
Lol Funny. We had food when I was a child but I just didn't like to eat. My mother had to go to extremes to make me eat. I was so thin that my dad didn't play with me because he was afraid I would break. And now I still have strange eating habits.
I feel the same way. Don’t think about food, I eat because is necessary. Some days I have to ask myself if I ate. Nothing wrong with me.i had a fantastic mother and she was a super cook, so I know good food......just now I lost interest.
A granny in Australia says...I'm 75, very healthy, and have felt exactly as Anderson does about food since I was a child. I eat only once a day, and often go a couple of days, just ignore pangs.
Helen Martin Im glad you’re healthy, however it doesn’t seem healthy to ignore “pangs” your setting yourself up for a blood sugar crash. At your age that could kill you
@@melissanunez1155 Melissa, I am so happy to get a response! I know ALL about diabetes as I live with the type 2 diabetes which makes my 67 yo husband's life a misery. I've spent 45 years telling him what he should not eat, now he's got a weight problem and I'm on the slim side of average. My sugar levels are totally normal. The pangs I describe are totally hunger gripes, which I think a human foraging and eating infrequently would learn to live with. I figure I'm way past growing, I only have to maintain, and about 1 1/2 cups of nuts does it for me, with lots of fluid. Hope you and yours are surviving the current world in health and happiness.
@@helenmartin9150 You love on 1 1/2 cups of nuts? That’s very concerning. You should be getting a certain amounts of calories each day depending on your weight and height. And women over 50 need even more protein than before to avoid certain health conditions. Please take care of yourself.

wow, I did not know that there was actually a name for this avoidance of food intake. Very interesting.
Neither of them are mentally healthy, so to make a joke of it makes it all worse for those suffering.
Thank u
Anderson was a child model and his mom was a supermodel I'm sure that had something to do with it!!!
She probably DID live on a diet and that may have affected him. NO food in the house in order to NOT be tempted!
Margaret Gust Magnificent ? Seriously ? Sacrificing and torturing along with eating babies is NOT MAGNIFICENT
Lol she sacrificed children. Look up the pic of her with her son's on a bed with a sacrifice "artwork" above it.
lala blu: That’s the joke that he was making.
He has admitted that she wasn’t very parental and never kept much food in the house
I met Anderson two month ago. He was so kind, a real gentleman!
Lucky
Big deal. Have we set the bar so low that a kind and real gentleman is something to write home about?
@@currybase Even though Anderson Cooper works for big Corporate television network he's still human. At least he's not Jake Tapper.
that doesn't surprise me at all! he seems like he is very genuine!
I used to be like that for years. Just eating to survive. Turns out it was due to depression.
Me too. Plus poverty. My folks sometimes just explained it that once a month is “‘government cheese day” and hopefully a paycheck day (we lived in very remote and economically absent areas a lot), otherwise beans and rice and the garden or what we could gather in the hills or fish for was good.

You haven't lived life. Anderson's story is sad. His mother never cooked for him. And I'm not talking about junk food. But experience real food!

Good thing Kelly is friends with Anderson Cooper there friendship really shows.
Ah thats the aristocrat in him. We drink, we don't eat
So you’re an aristocrat lmao? Why are you on RUclips then?
Kelly pretending that she eats....
You can want to eat, but not eat. The discussion is about how you feel about food.. not how much food you eat...
I stand corrected. *EDIT* Kelly pretending that she WANTS to eat. That’s better.
@@dlokes Now I'm on board with you.
I was thinking the same... she is fulll of it.. they are awful on this show

I understand how Anderson feels.
Nothing tastes as good as being in-shape feels. Food is only to be eaten cautiously for sustenance - not shoveled into your gullet mindlessly for pleasure.
You can eat in a healthy way that gives you pleasure.
I agree with Anderson. The last thing on my mind is thinking about food.
Carr’s Water Biscuts are brilliant.
My niece said she only ate to live. She said she wouldn't eat if she didn't have to.
