Farm Of Fussy Eaters
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. Lyndel Costain - the Dietician (BBC Health Expert, Author of Diet Trials), Professor Geoffrey Beattie - the Psychologist (BBC's Family SOS, Diet Trials, and Big Brother), and the Chef, Rachel Green, a favourite of Prince Charles'. They'll help the guests to face up to their phobias with a range of tests and challenges. You can guarantee that there'll be tears, and some laughs, along the way.
Can our expert team turn eight people's dietary habits, phobias, and addictions around in just two weeks? Will our fussy eaters all last the distance? Watch The Farm of Fussy Eaters to find out!
