the only thing i don't understand is why i can't call the Select method directly
on the return of Enum.GetValues(), maybe because Array
implements the non-generic IEnumerable interface?

ViewBag.ApetiteOptions = ((IEnumerable<int>)Enum.GetValues(typeof(Apetite))).Select(x => new SelectListItem() {
 Text = ((Apetite)x).ToString(), 
 Value = x.ToString()
});

ViewBag.ApetiteOptions = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Apetite)).OfType<int>().Select(x => new SelectListItem() {
     Text = ((Apetite)x).ToString(),
     Value = x.ToString()
 });

OfType<States>()

LINQ works on the IQueryable interface, which array's don't support.

foreach(var value in Enum.GetValues(typeof(States))){
   list.Add(new SelectListItem(){
       Text = value.ToString(),
       Value =  ((int)value).ToString()
   });
}

var list = Enum.GetValues(typeof(States))
                              .OfType<States>()
                              .Select(i => .... );
