People are fiercely dependent of their food preferences, to the point that they are willing to argue for the torture and imprisonment of people who don't like olives. Even people who seem reasonable on any other subject will look you directly in the eyes and say "mac and cheese is the only good food. It is all that I eat, and all anyone should ever eat. Anyone who doesn't believe that should be put to death." And you go "jeez boss I was just asking if you wanted these reports by tomorrow."
Maybe it's because food is one of those things that seems like a ubiquitous physical reality. We like to imagine that all people are experiencing life in the same way, but lo and behold two people can both try the same soup and have vastly different opinions on it. The politics, costs, and even risks of certain food items have effects on our lives that frankly almost none of us like to admit.
And then there are the mental barriers people put up around food in general. Even today there are people who refuse to admit that lobster is an armored sea bug. Yeah, it's a luxury, but lady, look at all the legs.
So here are some of people's insightful/stupid opinions on food, depending on how much you agree with them. And here are some of the worst foods people have eaten.
