People have been taught that feelings are as important as our physical health.

Now we suffer from the consequences.

Could that be because mental health affects physical health?

Of course it does. The world isn't gum drops and rainbows. Mental health is a real thing and I sympathize but can't support the impact that attention to it is having on society. Negatively impacting someones mental health is not the same thing as directly having a negative impact on someones physical health. Words and feelings are not a good reason to restrict free speech.

Hypothetically, if watching other people chew affected my mental health, would it be a justifiable to ban chewing in public?

Only if you provide chewers with safe spaces.
