My brother has been this way for a long time. He doesn't eat any meat and isn't a vegetarian. He eats cheese pizzas, fries, breadsticks, and foods like that. He will not eat fish, chicken, or any meat. He has tried pepperoni. I mean he usually eats only cheese pizzas for his large meals. If we were to order out it would also be a cheese pizza. He liked pancakes and waffles. I've asked why he eats that way and he really never says. He's been like this since he was little. My mother said he ate baby food. When he started to get older he didn't eat meat or any of that. What could be wrong with him? I don't think he'll change the way he eats. He had a girlfriend and she couldn't even change him. I'm mostly worried about his weight and he is skinny. He's not disgustingly skinny. It's like weird to me cause I eat way different. It's a weird diet and I think he might have problems when he gets older. He doesn't eat fruit, vegetables, and his food groups aren't good. He likes mozzarella sticks and dips them in sauce. I know if I talked to him he probably wouldn't change his eating habits. So far he's been healthy and is at 160lbs or a little more. He's also taller than me about 5'11. It's just a very weird eating style he has. Another thing he eats is Peanut butter with no jelly on bread. I'm not exactly sure when all of this started or at what age. All I know is he eats a lot of cheese pizzas and he doesn't like meat or anything. I mean if we went through all the food groups I could name what he likes and eats.

If you can get him to go to the doctor and the doctor says there is nothing wrong then let him eat the way he wants. I agree with you that it is strange. Not the fact that he won't eat meat, I know lots of vegans but the fact that he does not eat fruit and veggies is worrisome.

No, he's not a vegan either. I know that it's okay if he doesn't eat meat. I know it's his choice too. I just worry that someday he might have some sort of complications. I don't think I would be able to get him to a doctor either. I just thought maybe it's some sort of mental condition. I always thought maybe it was that way cause our family use to argue at the table. I don't think it's that though if it's went on this long. I'm just going to let it go and if it gets worse then I'll suggest a doctor. I mean he's healthy from what I see externally.

The cooked tomato sauce is good for him. There might be onion and garlic in there, which would also be healthful.

My dad used to say food is like the alphabet, just like you need all the letters to make words, you need all the foods for a healthy diet and to make sure you get all your vitamins etc. Looks like your brother is just stuck on 'za.

He should probably at least get his cholesterol checked. Sometimes they have these health fairs at the shopping malls where they check that and your blood sugar and your blood pressure. Maybe look for one of those. Or now a lot of drugstores have mini-clinics. Did you guys get your flu shots this winter? You could maybe do that all at once.
