British boy lived on tomato-based diet for ten years
Liam Pierce, 14, hasn't been able to look at a vegetable without feeling sick since he choked on a pea when he was aged two.
The childhood trauma caused Liam to become addicted to tomato-based products, and he would get through more than three bottles of ketchup a week.
He was even forced to skip school lunches after classmates teased him about his daily diet of Heinz beans and spaghetti.
At home he would smother his food in ketchup and eat an entire 250g pack of cherry tomatoes every night as a snack.
He also scoffed his way through up to ten cans of tomato soup a week.
His distraught parents desperately tried to wean their son off tomatoes but every attempt failed and they would catch Liam covering his meals with ketchup.
Liam, of Abbeymead, Gloucester, was finally cured of his addiction and fear of other non-tomato foods after he underwent hypnotherapy sessions.
