Man Survives on Cheese Pizza for 25 Years – What’s Your Weird Food Obsession?

Most everyone likes pizza.

But Dan Janssen, 38, of Elliot City, Md. takes the pie (an entire 14-incher per day).

Dan has made headlines across the nation this week for his unusual diet.

He’s eaten pizza daily for the past 25 years.

Now, his story has been covered by People magazine, New York Daily News, Reddit, The Today Show and The Baltimore Sun.

At 14, for ethical reasons, Dan became a vegetarian and pizza seemed like a natural fit. Dan worked at a Domino's Pizza in college to help support his habit and today, he owns Imperium Woodcraft in Ellicott City where he regularly rides his bike and eats Raisin Bran once a week “to be healthy.”

And when it comes to pizza, he only eats one kind—cheese.  "I hate vegetables,” he told The Today Show.

Dan’s favorite pie to date came more than 10 years ago from a chain called Pontillo's in Rochester, NY. These days, Dan can be found dropping in at Joe Squared in Baltimore after visiting a therapist, who he sees for counseling related to his food aversion. At the behest of his fiancée, Janssen has also begun consultation with a nutritionist.

What is your silly, strange, wacky or just plain weird food fixation? Could any of your friends, family or children give Dan a run for his money? Share with us in the comments!
