What is it food paranoia?

Answer 1

Food paranoia is when an individual has an exaggerated "fear" of certain foods (rarely all foods, most likely just a few). Food paranoia is often senseless but it does have an impact depending on severity. People with food paranoia will avoid "unsafe" foods, which are any food that they feel they can't eat otherwise consequences will occur (NOT because of weight gain, but rather fear of sickness, contamination, etc) If one with food paranoia tries to consume any "unsafe" food, they may gag, get physically ill, etc. In other words, "unsafe" foods can be literally impossible for one with food paranoia to eat.
