Georgi Readman is an 18-year-old girl from Shanklin, Isle of Wight, and she doesn’t just prefer ramen noodles — she eats them every single day. While it may sound like a funny quirk, her noodle obsession is actually caused by a serious condition called Selective Eating Disorder, and it’s affecting her health in a number of drastic ways. Readman eats up to nine packets of inexpensive chicken ramen every week, which translates to 30 miles of noodles a year. Her all-noodle diet started when she was around 7 years old, after becoming an increasingly fussy eater. At age 8, she suffered a bout of food poisoning, and that’s the point when her food preferences officially tipped over to a Selective Eating Disorder. She’s underweight, has no energy, her immune system is fragile, and she hasn’t been able to put on enough weight to fulfill her dream of being a professional horse jockey. In some ways it’s hard for me to wrap my head around this girl’s problem — it’s like when my kids freak out about trying something new, and I just feel like, really? REALLY, you’re creating this much drama over a bite of [whatever]? But clearly this fear of non-ramen-based foods is a legitimate issue for Readman, and one she’s working on through cognitive behavioral therapy. I can’t even imagine how exhausted and crappy her body must feel, living on processed noodles day in and day out. As she puts it, For her sake, I truly hope she’s able to do so.
