Factory worker who only ever ate jam sandwiches kicks his food phobia by scoffing KFC
A FACTORY worker who only ever ate jam sandwiches kicked his food phobia with KFC.
Jordan Dean developed a fear of food as a child.
Since then he has had a jam sandwich for every lunch and dinner.
The only other food he would eat were cheese slices, biscuits and crisps.
He had never had meat or veg and did not know how to use a knife and fork, despite being aged 25.
But he has been cured thanks to a two-hour hypnotherapy session — and a newfound love of KFC.
Jordan, of Carlisle, Cumbria, now scoffs KFC three times a week as well as roast dinners, bacon butties and Nando’s.
He said: “I started trying everything I’d been missing out on. KFC is my favourite.
“You can only get takeaways at the moment but that hasn’t stopped me.
“I never want to see a jam sandwich again.”
Jordan developed avoidant restrictive food intake disorder aged 18 months.
He said: “If I tried to eat any new food I would start to gag and retch.
“I thought it was something I was going to have to put up with for the rest of my life.”

He visited hypnotherapist David Kilmurry after reading about his treatments.
Jordan said: “The first thing I had was a slice of apple then I started eating mango and noodles.
“My mum’s face was a picture.” Healthcare worker mum Kathryn, 61, said: “It was unbelievable.”
