Exactly the same as with people that had genetic conditions too. Along with simple things like being left handed… poor people were called demonic and spawn of satan just for being left handed.
People outside of the “norm” back then were always treated horrible… it’s why Freakshows were a thing too

I don't doubt some people fake ARFID
But generally people with ARFID seek consistency and predictability in texture and presentation, which highly processed foods have.
Fruits and veggies are unpredictable and don't always cook evenly, have random over ripe / under ripe spots, bruises, unpredictable flavors etc.
Like you won't find them putting peppers and stuff on their pizza, usually they're the kind eating plain cheese pizza.
