Eating pizza EVERY DAY for 25 years, this man actually does it

We absolutely love pizza, don’t get us wrong, but being allowed to eat nothing but pizza EVERY day for years on end would still be a bit too much of a good thing for us. Not for this American man, though—he has been living on pizza for 25 years (!) now.

Trauma here, trauma there

American Dan Janssen has eaten nothing but pizza slices since he was 15. Before that, like any other child, he ate a varied diet. Including the occasional piece of fruit, vegetables and bread. But the heavy stews he was served at daycare when he was 5 were rather traumatic.

Just like the time his sister gave him mushrooms to eat that later turned out to be poisonous, and Dan was rushed to hospital with sirens blaring. Dan was already vegetarian at the time, but from then on he also developed an intense hatred of vegetables and all other food. Well, you never know how things will turn out…

Oregano only

But how on earth do you manage to eat pizza every day? Dan says that a pizza from one pizzeria is a completely different meal from a pizza from a pizzeria a few streets away. Plenty of variety, according to Dan. When it comes to toppings, there is no variety at all, because the only topping Dan likes on his pizza is—no joke—oregano.

A miracle

The fact that Dan has been able to live for all these years on nothing but gluten, cheese, tomato sauce and oregano is a mystery to everyone. To this day, the Italian speciality is the only thing he eats. For some time now, he has been discussing his peculiar and one-sided eating pattern with a therapist, hoping that it can still be changed. To date, he has not tried anything else and, for the time being, Dan continues to live on pizza and pizza only.
