If you could eat whatever you wanted whenever you wanted for a 30 day period without any negative physical or social consequences, what would you eat/order? how many would be having triple chocolate fudge sundaes topped with sprinkles, with a side of Memphis wet ribs for breakfast?
I discovered I’m violently allergic to seafood when I was quite young. I would therefore consume lots of seafood dishes during that 30 days.
Everything. I would take vacation from work to eat. It would be a disgusting heavenly orgy of food from every different cuisine. I would dine alone, since my behavior would probably disgust everyone close to me.
It would be the best month of my life.
I do eat whatever I want, whenever I want. I never think about any consequences. I weigh 155 pounds at 5’8".
The thing is, I get full very easily. All you can eat buffets make money from me, no doubt.
At the risk of fighting the hypothetical, I’d choose not eating for 30 days. No negative consequences would mean a reset of my digestive system and metabolism with no loss of muscle mass and fitness. A significant amount spent in autophagy would rid my body of mutated cells that can cause systemic diseases. And give myself a chance to miss the foods I love and enjoy regularly but sometimes fail to really appreciate. No food orgy at the end of 30 days because having fasted in the past, large quantities of food are really not what one craves.
No need to sequester oneself. Keep in mind there would be no social consequences. Your fellow diners will sit across from you completely unfazed and act as if nothing could possibly be more normal or mundane than you ordering ravioli, fried Twinkies, crab rangoon, French toast, and bean soup with a side of bacon and washed down with alternating pitchers of beer and lime Koolaide for breakfast.
Go ahead, this is the opportunity to realize one’s lifelong dream of being Mr. Creosote for a month.
I pick this as well. Eating is annoying and if I could go 30 days without it, that would be great!
Even better!
First day:
My first breakfast would be 4 fried eggs over-easy, grits, an everything omelette, biscuits and gravy, waffles and blueberry pancakes, pastries, and fresh squeezed orange juice.
Second breakfast would be an assortment of charcuterie and cheeses, followed by pastries, and more fresh OJ.
Elevensies would be a cheesesteak wiv mushrooms and onions, and a dish of spicy spaghetti carbonara. Plus lots of German and Belgian beer (and more beer for every meal following).
Lunch would be a fried oyster po-boy plus an italian hoagie. And some Pakistani food – nihari and haleem.
Afternoon snack would be an assortment of sushi and a huge burrito with lots of guac. And chips, salsa, and more guac.
Dinner would be a thai feast, and very spicy Korean fried chicken, followed by caramel cake and apple pie.
Supper would start with seafood gumbo, then a rare ribeye, whole roast pork with skin, and an assortment of Korean barbecue, followed by chocolate cake and raspberry pie.
Late night snack would be pizza (high-quality NYC pizza with triple mushrooms).
It’s nice to have company but I want to be clear that I love food and cooking. Fasting is not my way of avoiding the epicurean experience.
No poutine? Amateur.
Pancakes, waffles, french toast, sausage and orange juice. As a new diabetic and lifelong insulin resistant person, a glass of sugar with a stack of starch covered in liquid sugar has always been off the menu for me. I would like to eat my way through a bed of breakfast food.
The sausage I can eat now and always have eaten but that ain’t no good for me neither. I want.
There would be a whole lot more donuts in my life. Chocolate layer cake and ice cream too, with bacon cheeseburgers for dessert.
That’s cool, i just meant I would go without eating. The reasons are mine 
I would eat macaroni and cheese, brownies with vanilla ice cream and fudge sauce, honey nut shredded wheat with milk, Snickers ice cream bars, and egg sandwiches with American cheese on croissants.
I do pretty much eat what I want (in moderation). I guess I’ll start with some cake, ice cream, and Cheetos, see what I’m in the mood for after that.
Cool and very thoughtful answer. I like it.
I also like the idea of being able to binge on whatever delicious food I wanted (as a dedicated food-lover and cook, I can easily think of lots of restaurants I’d like to eat at again and again, and homemade dishes I adore making and demolishing).
So…15 days utter pigging out on my favorite restaurant and homemade foods, then 15 days resetting my digestive system and metabolism? If that’ll work, it’s the best of both worlds.
This, except for two important differences:
I’d only eat “everything” if the no negative consequences also meant that I like foods I currently dislike.
I would not eat alone since eating with others is a great joy, and I presume that “no negative consequences” takes care of the idea that people would be disgusted with me.
I would skip meals. I’ve never been able to do that and hunger has always been the bane of my life, even when I’m so bored with food I could scream.
The list is so long!

Non-stop GOOD Chinese food. Seriously, I’d eat it constantly in between the other stuff
And since we can have anything, I’d also like some super famous chef to come and prepare gourmet meals for me that I have never tried before, all courses from appetizers to dessert.
That’s pretty much me exactly. Just about the same weight and height. Skinny as a rail all through grade school and high school and was constantly told ‘it’s going to catch up with you’ as I shoveled my face full of junk food, constantly. Here I am in my mid 30’s still at about 150-160, still eating garbage (even blood work comes back okay).
Also, similarly, I fill up very quickly (GI doc called it “early satiation”). I do much better having lots of little things to eat across the day then a few large meals. It runs in my family. We all know that if we’re going out to dinner, we have to make sure to eat something first. Eating on a totally empty stomach means finishing about half a hamburger and being stuffed, then starving an hour later.
Based on what I’ve tended to do when I stop giving a hell about things, I would eat an assload of potato chips and cookies and such with the occasional pint of ice cream (for variety!) while sacked out in front of the TV.
