Everyday Systems

I notice that I tend to eat the same things over and over, usually prepared the same way, and am wondering if this is true of others.

Moreover, many of my "favourites" aren't generic - it has to be a particular brand of mayonnaise, a particular manufacturer of cream cheese, bagels from one place only, one type of ice cream, etc.

I'm also curious to know if there's a high correlation of such specificity to weight - in other words, if someone who is, say, 100 pounds overweight is even more specific about what he eats than someone with, say, 30 pounds to lose. In my case, I'm VERY overweight and VERY specific, and I'm wondering if this is common, and if so, what it might mean.

Any thoughts?

I know people who are very specific about what they eat and I know people who couldn't care less. In both groups, some are heavy and some are slim. I don't think there's a correlation.
