The Woman With A Phobia Of Food

A PUB landlord is so afraid of certain foods just the sight and smell of them can drive her to panic attacks and make her physically sick. Jill Hayman, 36, from Montrose Scotland, lives off a diet primarily made up of crisp sandwiches and fizzy drinks – and has never sat down to eat a proper hot meal with a knife and fork. Jill has a list of approximately 18 food and drink items she can stomach – what she refers to as her ‘safe’ foods; these include fizzy and energy drinks, jelly sweets, crisps and chocolate, with bread making up the majority of her ‘meals’. Unsurprisingly Jill gets through, on average, seven loaves of bread per week.
