Food Fights: Stories about trouble eating

In this week’s episode, both of our storytellers grapple with what they can and can’t eat.

Part 1: Danielle Meinert struggles to eat anything other than cheese pizza, Easy Mac and toast with butter.

Part 2: Ellis Ballard has life-threatening food allergies, which makes eating, drinking and living life challenging.

Danielle Meinert is a writer and recovery advocate for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). She lives with her husband and adopted mini poodles in Atlanta, Georgia. She loves food.

Ellis Ballard is a creative producer, editor, director and prolific maker of creative projects. They produce the True Story London Podcast which features stories from London's vibrant live storytelling community and in-depth interviews with the storytellers. Ellis also co-facilitates True Story London's DRAFT storytelling workshops, and works with performers to direct and craft live comedy and theatre projects. Ellis's new podcast 'The Secret Podcast' is an outlet for some more unconventional audio creations that have willed their way into existence despite considerable efforts to suppress them.
