Attention Hunger Artists!! (take into consideration)

I've seen too much these days going about about hunger artists:

"I wont eat it if it isn't some combination of porcini mushrooms, fois gras and caviar to the exclusion of everything else."

What are you trying to prove?

My friend wouldn't eat anything but broccoli and spagetti with tomato sauce.  That's more real, although it shows some unaccepted fear of novelty, and makes it tough for dinner party hosts. "Gotta cook something else for him".  Not unlike the vegetarian at a private family barbeque.

But the hunger artist is really a dick.
