Is it normal to hate food?

Depends.It depends

It’s normal not to enjoy food much, or to find eating more like a chore than a pleasure. If nearly all food feels unbearable and you’re struggling to eat enough, that’s worth looking into.

People vary a lot in how much they care about food. Some love trying new things; others eat mainly because they have to, or have strong dislikes around taste, texture, smell, or the whole experience. You’re not required to be a foodie.

The important distinction is whether you can still eat enough and feel okay about it. If your aversion is making it hard to get adequate nutrition, causing weight loss, or taking over your day, consider talking with a healthcare professional or dietitian. You deserve help making eating manageable, not a lecture about being picky.
