Do you like things to eat that others on the inside don't like (or vice versa--they like things to eat that you don't)?

Good answer - I am beginning to find different things to soothe different ones, and it helps. (just got home from shopping, to buy two more of a particular soft toy brand (hideaway pets) for two little ones who wanted their 'very own' after I had previously bought one for another one in their group).
I guess I haven't really noticed or paid attention to the food thing, but yeah, some eat different things, or won't eat stuff that I typically would. I guess a couple are still affected by an old eating disorder, too.
Do you have contact with your family of origin?
