Random Celebrities Who Are Picky Eaters (21 items)

  (#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.

  (#14) Steve Jobs

  • Dec. at 56 (1955-2011)

  In Steve Jobs, a biography written by Walter Isaacson, the author details Jobs's "occasional tendency to eat only one or two foods, like carrots or apples, for weeks at a time." Allegedly, "Jobs also spent some time as a fruitarian, a subset of veganism that means eating only fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables and grains -- absolutely no animal products."

  (#16) Warren Buffett

  • 88

  As Warren Buffet explained to Fortune, “If I eat 2700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola. I drink at least five 12-ounce servings. I do it everyday.” He's also a big fan of Utz potato sticks and ice cream for breakfast. No word on how many cavities he's had filled in his lifetime.

  (#20) Saddam Hussein

  • Dec. at 69 (1937-2006)

  American soldiers guarding the late Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein said that he had very specific eating habits. Raisin Bran Crunch was his breakfast favorite, but he wouldn't Froot Loops. While he would eat fish and chicken, he refused to eat beef at dinner. He also loved Cheetos, and when the guards ran out of them, he'd get really grumpy.

  (#1) Donald Trump

  • 72

  According to an article in the New York Times, The Orange One likes himself a piping hot slice of Americana: fast food, over-cooked steaks, diet cola, and greasy spoon diner grub. Trump regularly posts photos of himself eating the likes of KFC buckets and Big Macs on Instagram, though a Republican strategist interviewed by the NY Times believes this plays into Trump's carefully cultivated image as the establishment outsider who's really a regular Joe (who can afford his own plane, as your average Joe can). 

  While Trump's social media love affair with woo-the-voters food (remember when he told all those Hispanics how much he loved them by celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a Trump Tower taco bowl?), he apparently doesn't have particularly refined taste. According to a former butler of Trump's, he likes his steaks (really) well done: “It would rock on the plate, it was so well done" (so basically like burnt to a crisp?). 

  As per a piece in Daily Mail, beyond its appeal to his constituency, Trump likes fast food because it's quick and efficient. He's also suggested he would get rid of lavish state dinners of elected president, saying  “We should be eating a hamburger on a conference table, and we should make better deals with China and others and forget the state dinners."
