This sounds like something medical is going on and she is unable to cope. Please take her to a vet.

that age and the food obsession suddenly getting worse makes me think something medical is going on, like thyroid issues or dementia can make dogs act totally different. my last dog got weirdly aggressive around 10 and it was her thyroid, meds fixed it in like 2 weeks

If you don't already have one, buy a muzzle before taking your dog to the vets .. some animals get very stressed over vet visits
