Tom Bennett doesn't like food: he has a fear of new foods. We follow him for a day as he goes grocery shopping, confronts his phobia of trying food, tastes his wedding menu and takes us to his favourite chip spots.

For others, their food phobia can sometimes turn into a lifethreatening eating disorder. We chat to a dietitian about ARFID: avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder.
