A lot of times our emotions are tied less to the food themselves and more about how we feel about them. We receive lots of messages about there being "good" and "bad" foods and we can internalize them so that we end up judging and critiquing ourselves.

For me I think the negative feelings are more along the lines of due to quantity, rather than quality. I try to eat healthy foods like vegetables, fruits, fish etc. the majority of the time, but like I said in my previous post, eating food is not only a sense of stimulation but also one of very few things I enjoy or that gives any happiness, at least while I'm doing it. So it's really hard not to at least snack often.
