Usage of any more

I have one more weird but confusing question.

I will not eat the food any more.

I know that any more modifies not eat here.

I will not eat the food they sell on the streets any more.

Can I also say any more modifies sell in the sentence?

And is there a case where any more as an adverb is used with a positive sentence?

Thank you so much as usual in advance.
