The Farm Of Fussy Eaters
We all know someone with a penchant for too much chocolate or a particular brand of biccies, but most people balance their faddy eating out with the odd piece of fruit or veg. At The Farm of Fussy Eaters most of our participants would run a mile at the sight of a strawberry and get the colly-wobbles around cauliflower. We're talking high-carb, high-sugar food intake here, and drastic changes have to be made.
In this exclusive new show we follow the emotional journey of eight people as they confront their food demons at The Farm of Fussy Eaters. The eight participants all have terrible relationships with food but they're determined to conquer their fears with the help of our three experts.
Craig is so desperate to change and improve his diet that he will do anything. Since the age of 18 months old Craig has been unable to eat any foods other than potato, Weetabix, bread, plain crisps and microwaved vanilla ice-cream, for fear of vomiting. Craig's poor diet has led to him being both vastly overweight and a borderline diabetic.
Chocaholic Ruth chomps her way through five 400g bars a day ignoring serious health warnings such as chest pains, joint ache and rotting teeth. Meanwhile, Katie can only bring herself to eat white food such as chicken, pasta and bread...
UKTV Style has scoured the country to find Britain's eight fussiest eaters. We've brought them all together in a beautiful Lincolnshire farmhouse for two weeks to explore their relationships with food. We aim to get to the heart of where their dysfunction comes from, help to control their neurosis, and finally, teach them to eat normally, healthily and socially.
All eight participants will be put through their paces by our team of experts:
The dietician
Lyndel Costain, BBC Health Expert and author of Diet Trials, is on hand to offer nutritional advice and guidance. She'll have have her work cut out driving home the 'Five a Day' message!
The pyschologist
Professor Geoffrey, Big Brother pyschologist, will be asking soul-searching questions and providing expert insights into our participants' behaviour.
The chef
Rachel Green, a favourite of Prince Charles', wants to teach our participants to fall in love with food. As a farmer too, she's also keen to show our eight fussies where food comes from and how it gets to our table.
Together our experts will help the guests face up to their phobias in this heart-rending but uplifting journey.

Is this for real? Thousands of innocent kids are dying while you lot are whining about your 'problems.' I have an idea, instead of mollycoddling this disgusting bunch of obese and unhealthy walking corpses, put the whole lot in the middle of a famine-plagued nation - I know of many, many unspoilt angels who would beg for the chance to actually eat food! As a Mum, a Nurse, a Naturopath and one who works with underprivileged people in poor nations, I can't even find words. What a lot of bull! Every single one of you should be starved until you actually need food - then you wont care what you put in your mouth. Ever heard of people eating food from the ground and from a bin? Those who could do with some sort of weightloss will benefit and those who look like sticks just might get an appetite. What a repulsive waste of money.
