Some people are afraid of bears or roller coasters, and others are afraid of food. April Griffiths, age 29, has severe food phobia and experiences extreme anxiety at the thought of eating anything other than a cheese sandwich. She’s from a town in England, and says, “Every time I attempt to try new things, I have a panic attack, my whole body begins to shake, and I am terribly nervous. […] I have tried to eat pea-size portions of rice, pasta or vegetables; I have never been able to swallow it without throwing up.” She says she’s gone through years of counseling and has been unable to overcome her phobia.
