Foods you used to love but hate now.

[Jinx]

The thought of eating Chinese food literally turns my stomach.

I don't like pizza anymore. I might eat it sometimes, but it's very rare.

I'm starting to go off cauliflower.

I go through phases with string cheese where I'll love it, hate it, and love it again.

Peanut Butter

Don't read unless you want to be put off the Peanut and Jelly Sandwiches forever. Please.


(SPOILER)FDA laws allow for an average of 30 insect fragments per 100 grams of peanut butter. In that same half cup of peanut butter, you’ll also find at least one rodent hair (on average). Yum! Now that’s good eating!

[Shorty]

I'm pretty sure there's something like that with all processed food. If I can't see it, I don't care.

I don't think I've stopped liking something I used to like. My palette has expanded since I was a kid.

I read it and I don't care, peanut butter sandwiches are amazing and I'll continue to devour them en masse

[Jinx]

Yeah, that's really not that big of a deal. The bugs are so ground up I don't even notice. And hell, I like my peanut butter crunchy anyways.

[Madame Adequate]

look if picking parasites out of his sister's fur and eating them is good enough for steve, then eating crushed-up bugs is good enough for the rest of us

More Rat hair/ poop and bugs for you then I guess.

Lol

That's fine if you still enjoy PB. Completely fine. Though I'm put off PB forever.

You honestly probably shouldn't eat any food ever, then.

[Pheesh]

That's better.

[Rantz]

I don't think I've stopped liking something I used to like. My palette has expanded since I was a kid.

Pretty much. I already struggle to think of foods I don't like, I don't think any of the few exceptions are things I've previously liked. Food is great, I'm not picky.

Unless you count like, weird-ass candy like jawbreakers or super flowery synthetic tasting bubblegum that all kids go wild for.

[Mirage]

That's better.

Lol, do you really think not a single bug will find its way into your nonprocessed food?

Nope, nor did I say that I care if it does, but they were talking about peanut and some weird FDA regulation that applies to processed food and she then generalized it to all food. It's not fair that just cause the guy doesn't like the idea of eating peanut butter that she make him out to be some weirdo who should stop eating.

[Jinx]

I didn't do that, Phil. x)

What I DID do is say: if you are that concerned about gross things (not just bugs) finding their way into your food, you're probably SOL.

First of all, it's harmless in those small quantities.
