Demonizing categories of food refers to the act of portraying certain types of food as "demonic" or evil. It could be due to misinformation, cultural beliefs, or subjective opinions. However, using this language can be harmful and may lead to restrictive or disordered eating practices. Instead, we should encourage moderation and balance in our diets. Synonyms for "demonize categories of food" could include stigmatization, vilification, maligning, condemning, or scapegoating food groups. It is important to be mindful of language around food choices and focus on promoting a healthy relationship with food rather than demonizing certain ingredients or food groups.
