  (#13) Stephen King

  • 71

  As author Stephen King told Bon Appetit,  “I have a son who swears by creme brulee and always eats it before he writes. For me, it’s cheesecake. I also love baking bread. It makes the house smell wonderful.” He went on to say, “I’m not a fan of anything slippery or slimy. I don’t eat oysters. It’s horrible, the way they slither down your throat alive.”

  (#7) Mena Suvari

  • 40

  “I follow my own diet, and I’m pretty anal about it," explained Mena Suvari. “I’m very particular, and it can be hard on sets. They’ll say, ‘I’ll just tell you what’s for lunch.’ And I’m like, ‘No, I need to go look at it.’ People probably think I’m being rude, but I can visualize how the food is going to affect my body."

  (#15) Novak Djokovic

  • 31

  Tennis star Djokovic follows a strict gluten-free diet... and also eats grass. After his win against Rafael Nadal in 2011, Djokovic started eating the grass on the court. Djokovic later told reporters, the grass was "well kept" and "tasted quite well, really." He said, "I felt like an animal. I wanted to see how it tastes. It tastes good. It came spontaneously, really. I didn't plan to do it. You know, I didn't know what to do for my excitement and joy."

  (#11) François Hollande

  • 64

  According to CBS News, when a number of chefs visited the United Nations, it was revealed that French President Francois Hollande hates artichokes.

  (#8) Deepak Chopra

  • 71

  Deepak Chopra loves to eat the rainbow, and I'm not talking about Skittles. He explained his food choices to The New York Times: “In general, I want to have seven colors of the rainbow. The seven colors of the rainbow are very important because they reflect phytochemicals, which are the most intelligent micronutrients that we know the pharmaceutical benefits of. Phytochemicals are actually chemicals derived from the energy of sun. They’re anti-inflammatory; they’re anti-carcinogenic. I’ve been a lifelong student of how nutrition affects our body physiologically, but also pharmacologically and even psychologically, because moods are influenced by food. That’s why we use taste metaphors: sweet love, sour grapes, bitter experience, pungent remarks, astringent humor and salt of the earth, etc. I think even the consciousness of the chef, the consciousness of the people you’re with and the attitude to food influences everything about food.” Sounds exhausting.
