[Pickled onions](http://www.schwartz.co.uk/images/schwartz/ChilliPicklOnions_GIG.gif) smell really intense though, as they’re eaten and on the breath. The implication of the phrase is she’d have to be _really_ hot for a man to tolerate her eating them in the bed. ---

I’ve lost gallons of bodily fluid in her honour. If only I’d kept it - I could have sent it to her and it would keep her going for a year or two. ---

Meh. theres plenty of other better looking ‘pop’ stars out there. Alright, should/when the opportunity to do her arises, i would, but so what, you could say that about most of the female popworld. She didnt exactly get me sprung when I saw her in the real world. And after that, I could put her in my pocket for later. with some crisps so she could eat. ---

The article says she loses appetite in stressful situations. It happens to me too, but it has to be a VERY stressful situation for me. I’ve lost a lot of weight in the past from these situations. (I’ve gained it back when things got better) This may not be as frivolous as it seems to be at first glance; at least I can understand it at a certain level. ---

employing someone to remind you to eat comes close on shitty jobs to the guy in Ludacris’ posse/hangers on that looks after the batteries for the gameboys on tour. and i sometimes think my job isn’t worthwhile. ---

When I’m really stressed out or intensely focused on what I’m doing, I forget to eat, too. Especially if I’m in an unfamiliar environment (traveling, or just away from home). It’s a problem for me because I have low blood sugar so if I don’t eat I get sick and uncomfortable. I once ate about 300 calories a day for 3 weeks because I was so stressed out. I did lose a lot of weight, but it came back as soon as I started eating again. I can see how someone could forget to eat, though I think hiring people to remind you is a bit excessive. ---

I forget to eat all the time. And not just when I’m stressed. On a Saturday if I haven’t had much to do, I’ll look up, it will be 10:00pm and I’ll realize I haven’t eaten anything all day. Now, I don’t actually have to hire someone to tell me to eat, but if I was going to writhing and bopping on stage perhaps it would be more important that I didn’t miss meals. I dunno - goofy article but I can understand her point. ---

You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat! I mean, I have forgotten where I put my keys or my pack of smokes, but I sure as hell have never forggotten to eat. ---
