You've never heard of such a fear: A young British woman named Leah Frost is struck with genuine anxiety whenever any type of food is served at the dinner table. The only food she agrees to put in her mouth is a very specific spaghetti from the food manufacturer Heinz.
The Daily Star newspaper reports that Frost's phobia began when she was a little girl, and since then she has been unable to eat anything but canned spaghetti.
Her mother, Yvonne, made great efforts, and after a campaign of persuasion, she managed to increase her daughter's menu to include small amounts of bread and chips, sponge cake, and cheese.
But the girl is only willing to eat cheese when it comes to a specific cheese, which is only sold in the Morrisons supermarket chain.
Frost herself is aware of the disorder she suffers from. She told a reporter who interviewed her that she couldn't eat even the little food she did eat unless it was served in a certain way. The wrong way of serving it, and she would immediately be attacked by anxiety.
""It's not easy to live like this," says the girl, "especially at family events, when some of those present don't understand how great my fear is.".
