Just because someone is starving doesn't mean that they'll eat absolutely anything, nor should they be expected to.

That being said...bread with butter isn't that nutritious. You might want to start trying new foods to round out your diet. I for one am a lot more likely to like a new food if it isn't forced upon me, more so if I make it myself.

Yeah and I absolutely can't, I have been forced, which has been quite painful, although now adays that doesn't happen but people just pressure me, and if I can't, I get lines like "children in africa are starving", I have heard that one alot

Oh, don't worry, I have a couple more balanced comfort foods, that was just some hyperbelly :)
