Cibophobia
August 22nd, 2006
The phobia of food… or could possibly be called Sitophobia or Sitiophobia, which is the phobia of food or the eating of it. The meal in the photo is actualy one of my favourites, gammon steak and chips. Was a good meal 
Imagine how little time you'd last if you followed a phobia of food or eating? I mean… the world would terrify you.
Infact, coincidentally I watched "Over the Hedge" last night with my boyfriend. Enjoyed the film very much, but one thing that really got me smiling was the way that one of the main characters, the 'bad influence' racoon "RJ" pointed out how it would be easy for them to get food off of the humans; "They got food with them. We eat to live – these guys live to eat!". This made me smile even more as he went on to show all the devices and everyday things we have to "summon" food or aid us to keep eating! It's not wonder animals create such havoc trying to get to our scraps… I find it an interesting kind of humour when a script writer can poke fun at humans, and is partly why I enjoy films that "star" animals… ok, so it's not necessarily right about real animals, but it does make you think "Ok, it sounds stupid when you put it THAT way!". Listen to the cute fuzzy animals – People are stupid!
Uh, but… yeah. The point I was making is that it would be SO hard for a cibophobic person to escape… there's the point I just made, along with the fact that we need food, of course…
So, now you have an update. Sorry it's taken my over a month, I've been on holiday and stuff. Or just lazy too, but Mr Twelve managed to kep you updated for a while. I believe he's doing socialising things recently, so maybe this will be a nice welcome when he gets back
