Food and Beverages

From time to time, Patrick R. McElhiney likes different foods - it just depends on what he likes at that specific time. He's considered a very finicky eater, for sure. He's usually eaten certain things consistently - or "eats them to death", until one day he just grows sick of the taste, or the texture, or the smell, and then he no longer wants to eat it, until some point in the mid to long-term future, at which point he will probably repeat the cycle. Patrick usually eats organic, non-GMO foods, because the pesticides in GMO and non-organic foods can make him sick. One exception to this is celery, which he doesn't eat a lot of, because there's no such thing as organic celery to our knowledge.

Patrick used to like candy as a kid, but he doesn't really eat any later in his life. Patrick likes to eat healthy. He was a vegetarian for a while. Then he was a vegan for a while, as well. When he was a vegan, he drank a lot of soy milk - especially chocolate flavored. He's also drank rice milk, coconut milk, and almond milk before, but not on a regular basis.

Drinks

Mango Coconut flavored Kevita drinks with Probiotics (Organic / Non-GMO) - I used to drink 1-2 of these a day. Now once in a great while.
I like lemonade, limeaid, grapefruit juice, and orange juice.
I prefer to drink Whole Milk. I used to drink 2% milk. I've rarely had 1% and Non-Fat milk - only when there is nothing else.
