I suspect it's less that he's found what he likes and more that he's scared he'd find out he actually liked something else better, and has wasted those 10 years.

I think I would be more worried about the nutrient diversity and serious deficiencies of vitamins and minerals for having the same meal for 10 years.

#23Working in tech it’s very hard not to get lost in rat race and always go for more money, more knowledge, more everything. I’m actively trying to avoid it, but it gets to me as well. And most of my friends think I’m weird that I don’t want to get one more promotion or why I don’t want to push myself outside of my comfort zone. I’m fine where I am.

#29A buddy of mine has rice and beans nearly every dinner though he knows how to cook variations so it’s a surprisingly tasty diet. I’m surprised the guy in the article could go decades without eating any veggies but his diet has clearly worked for him. The strokes could just be genetics and/or old age catching up.

#30This guy is a saint. To have that kind of contentment and peace is the goal of most religions. Honestly I'd like to hear more of his life, would love to talk to him.
