Fear of food; also known as phagophobia.
Sitophobia is a psychological condition in which a person is terrified or repelled by all food or else by certain foods that most others deem edible, if not downright delicious. Sitophobia is therefore culturally specific: in Canada, my Lear-like histrionics upon finding half a beetle in my salad are considered most apropos; in other cultures, where a dearth of mammalian or piscatorial protein sources have made insects an accepted food, the same behaviour would seem sitophobic. The word sitophobia, first used in English about a century ,ago, derives from the Greek sitos, meaning bread, and phobos, meaning fear.
