Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist and co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, has been found to have been quite particular about his food. The latest batch of Jeffrey Epstein files reveals that Thiel's dietary restrictions are not just unusual but also elaborate.
According to a February 2016 email from Alisa Bekins, Thiel's former chief of staff, the billionaire had strict rules when it came to eating out or having meals with others. Sushi and animal protein were approved, while vegetables and fruits were limited. There was even an exhaustive list of 14 approved vegetables and 0 approved fruits.
Thiel's dietary restrictions also included condiments - most fresh herbs and olive oil were permitted, but ketchup, mayonnaise, and soy sauce were off-limits. The only meal explicitly outlined in the email was a breakfast consisting of egg whites or greens/salad with some form of protein, such as steak.
It is unclear whether Thiel's dietary restrictions had any impact on his interactions with Epstein, but it does show that he was willing to accommodate Epstein's requests when they met. In fact, one recording of an undated conversation between the two men suggests that Epstein hoped to meet Thiel in person and even expressed interest in meeting his co-founder at Palantir.
The relationship between Thiel and Epstein is particularly interesting given the billionaire's outspoken views on conspiracy theories and his admiration for Donald Trump. While it is unclear how much influence Epstein had over Thiel, it does show that the two men were willing to interact with each other despite their vastly different backgrounds and interests.
Overall, Peter Thiel's dietary restrictions are just one aspect of a larger picture that raises questions about the connections between Silicon Valley figures and convicted sex offenders like Jeffrey Epstein. As more information comes to light, it will be interesting to see how this story unfolds.

. I mean, who comes up with a list of approved and disapproved veggies and fruits? And condiments too? It sounds like something from a sci-fi novel or a character in a book series 
. What's next, are his bathroom habits going to be restricted too? And how did he even come up with this stuff? Was it some kind of health thing or just a quirk? I'm also curious about the Epstein connection and how much influence he had over Thiel. It's all pretty shady 
.
... meanwhile, epstein was a total monster and now we're just reading through old emails about thiel's food preferences 
it's like, what were these guys thinking?! 
But seriously, it's kinda weird that he was willing to accommodate Epstein's requests, especially considering their differences. I guess you never know what people are hiding behind those fancy suits and dinner invitations 
. But what's even more interesting is how he was willing to accommodate Epstein's requests when they met. It just goes to show that these connections between SV figures and convicted offenders are super murky 
.
. And what's up with the no ketchup or mayo? Did he really think that was going to be a deal-breaker 
.
. But at the same time, I guess it shows that Thiel was willing to accommodate Epstein's requests, which is a bit concerning given their history 
. And now we're getting more info about Thiel's views on conspiracy theories and Trump... that's some interesting stuff 
. It's like, what were they thinking? Why did they hang out with someone who got in trouble for his own BS? 
Anyway, I guess it's good to know more about these connections between Silicon Valley and Epstein 
.
I'm low-key surprised that Peter Thiel had such strict food rules 
It just goes to show that you never really know what people are hiding behind their polished public images 
And now I'm even more curious about Thiel's views on conspiracy theories 
i mean if you're gonna be particular about your food, might as well go all in right? But what's up with the condiments tho? why ketchup & mayo off limits? just askin'
i mean 14 approved veggies and zero approved fruits?! that's some wild stuff...and it makes me think of our cafeteria food at school - remember when we used to have those weird salads with mystery veggies? anyway, this story is super interesting cuz it shows how these rich people's lives are so different from ours, but also kinda connected. like, what else do they have in common that we don't know about yet? 
.
but what's really interesting is the connections between SV folks & Epstein. it's like they say, who you know is half as important as what you do... or in this case, who your associates are 
. one thing for sure is that more info coming out is gonna be super juicy 
and I was totally unprepared because of all the group projects I was doing last minute 
. But anyway back to Peter Thiel... I mean, who comes up with rules like that for food? It's so extra 
.
. Still, it does raise some interesting questions about his relationship with Epstein... was he just being accommodating or did there's something more going on? The more we learn about this, the more I'm convinced that there's more to the story than meets the eye
