We all have secrets. Secrets about life, about love, and about others. “Food gives me the most satisfaction and the most guilt in my life.” These words from a stranger are used to ease their mind from one of life’s biggest facets: Food, love it or hate it, you have to deal with it, and it affects you on a very personal level. So it follows that some are forced to keep secrets about it.

Think about your feelings towards food. Maybe you have an eating disorder. Maybe you lie and say your take out was home made. Hungry magazine editor and Chicago food journalist Mike Nagrant secretly digs on Pepperoni Hot Pockets, McGriddles, and White Hen donuts. Maybe you do what I do, and tell people you’re allergic to food that you just don’t want. Now there’s an outlet where you can rid yourself of all those stomach churning food secrets that keep you up at night, PostSecret.com. PostSecret is a website where strangers mail in secrets on postcards and editor/owner Frank Warren posts select ones on the site. Regarding food secrets, Warren says, “Not only can food be very gratifying, but it can also be a cause of great turmoil in life.” Here at Hungry, we’ve selected some of the best food related secret postcard images from the site. As for Warren’s biggest food secret? He steals his daughter’s Halloween candy. What’s your secret?
