Cibophobia is defined as the fear of food. People with this fear have a certain food that triggers a negative response from their body and mind. Typically, people have a reason for the fear certain food gives them. Mine, for example, is Panera mac-and-cheese. This food causes me fear because it was the last food I ate before I got sick with influenza. Savannah Snow’s fear is a hamburger. She has this fear because, when she was five, she had her tonsils removed. On the third day after surgery, her mom made her eat solid food and the hamburger hurt her throat. These are just a couple of examples of food fears and possible reasons behind them.
