"I just don't wanna die" 😢😢that part gave me chills, so sad!!! ❤

[qweray]

I've never had pizza, chicken nuggets, *tuhpaghetti*

[ajayamoore]

maybe it's a texture thing.. all the foods he is consuming are crunchy and dry.. not wet.. like spaghetti sauce.. and not chewy like bananas

[Qlamped]

Who else listened to when he pronounced spaghetti and went straight to the comments?

[oceanvibes]

I feel bad for this kid he's missing out

[luvmifrolovesfamily]

Some of these comments are so ignorant. This is something he's been struggling with since he was an infant. How many infants reject food they can see? I hope she finds a solution for him

[jaeshasway]

This sounds like an OCD disorder that took over this poor kid early. I hope they are able to find him help.

[helencasillas]

This is a true disorder. My grandson has it. He's twenty and finally trying new foods. Thank God!

[MyNameIsMalachi]

I'll give you 5 bucks if you eat this pizza

[alienaf]

Are we all just gonna ignore how he pronounced spaghetti.. 😂😂

[ponytah]

Junk food like chips, gold fish, At day. but at night it's a different story.

[austinbernath]

Hold up is this man living off Doritos and Goldfish...

[julianneespinal]

"I just don't want to die"
That broke my heart 😭

[taneshap]

I'm a picky eater but I'm not THIS picky, bruh how do you not like pizza?!?!?! Pizza is life 😭😭😭

[feyiplus]

He probably wakes up at night and stuffs his face because those cheeks says otherwise.

[jordynehargraves]

Most of your comments are saying that you were expecting to see a skinny, malnourished, underweight kid, but all he eats is chips and goldfish so if course he would be a little bit overweight. Also, before you judge and criticize him for being, ”fat” (in your own words I’m saying it because I am absolutely not calling my him that!) you should realize that he has a deadly issue that could kill him, or maybe he had a texture issue. What he eats is all crunchy and salty/cheesy. So you should make sure before you write your comments criticizing him, take a second to realize he has a deadly issue all because it might be a texture issue. Think before you write

[chicagorilla]

he doesn't look very scared of food...

[AnoukCoco]

I see few people comment "he sure don`t look like he is scared" but the food he does eat is so high in unhealthy calories, processed and dangerous. If he does eat few bags of chips that is more calories than his body needs and so unhealthy. I sure hope they will find a way for him to eat something else. I did saw a workshop where kids make their food, play with it and eat it (eventually) and that type of therapy worked very well with some kids in similar situation.

[unicorndolls]

He's not scared of food how did he get that big
That couldn't happen

With just *GOLDFISH*
*CHEESE ITS*
*DIRTOS*
*LAYS CHIPS*

I eat taht about every day and I'm still skinny So wtf do u mean

Edit: they know that boy eats chicken nuggets fried chicken

[BlackGirlLovesAnime]

I was the opposite, I didn't eat anything but fruits and vegetables but also spaghetti noodles with soy sauce and bologna. I had to drink Pediasure and my mom would sneak food that I didn't like into the food that I did like
