I've Eaten Only Mac & Cheese for the Past 17 Years, Here's Why

For most people, eating nothing but mac and cheese seems like a childhood fantasy. But for 20-year-old Austin Davis, who has been eating nothing but mac and cheese for the past 17 years, itā€™s not a fantasy -- itā€™s his reality and has become his affliction. For Austin, itā€™s about much more than just ā€œlikingā€ mac and cheese. Austin suffers from Selective Eating Disorder, also known as Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, an anxiety disorder thatā€™s characterized by the persistent refusal to eat specific foods or refusal to eat any type of food due to a negative response from certain sensory characteristics of that food.

VICE travels to Florida to meet Austin to learn more about the origins of his eating disorder and join him as he embarks on his journey towards recovery.

He's essentially a vegetarian, but since he doesn't eat any vege's, he's just a tarian.

When he's twenty and his addiction is seventeen, you know that the problem began not with him but probably his parents...

This video was released four years ago. I hope Austin's mental health has improved. I hope that Austin is doing well, eating different foods, enjoying his diet, and is happy and safe in his life.

This is so real, I have contamination OCD which painfully limited what foods I could eat and caused me to loose lots of weight and become very unhealthy, and I relate a lot to him acknowledging his problem and wanting to get better but struggling to do anything about it. Mental health is so complex, and I really hope he's able to get back on track and loose this weight on his shoulders <3

When he said he was 20, I realized how much his diet fucked him up. Thought he was at least 35.

"I'm sick of it but I don't want anything else" Sounds like a toxic relationship.

One thing I wanna mention are how loving the people around him are, and how lucky he is to have that. despite his growing up being unstable, hes got a really good best friend, and grand parents that care about him a lot, even down to his boxing coach. that really touched my heart.

He seems like such a kind and friendly man. Hope he got the help he needed and enjoys more types of foods.
