That just goes to show how weird it gets on tour. I&#8217;ll eat the veggie but I just don&#8217;t look it in the eye before I eat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MF: Oh because of the shame \u2013 because the vegetable knows you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Declan:<\/strong> They taste so bad when you&#8217;re hungover. I&#8217;ll only eat like a few veggies for the day \u2013 like, one meal a day \u2013 and then come home [after the gig] and eat lots of pizzas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MF: Ah yes, the million-o&#8217;clock pizza stop. What about you Bryce, are you struggling to stay healthy on tour?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bryce:<\/strong> I don&#8217;t know, I go all right usually. I try to eat a banana once a day maybe, if I can.
