Would it be bad for you to have a fear of unhealthy foods?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
That depends: If it is causing impairment in your life than it may be unhealthy. If you are happy and healthy and it doesn't interfere with life - than it doesn't sound unhealthy.

Fear: It is healthy to be aware of unhealthy foods and to eat a proper diet but if you developing a fear of french fries for instance you are letting your thoughts become more severe than necessary and ultimately such a stance is not healthy. Best.
