I’ve been thinking about a lot of pointless things recently, it happens to be one of my favorite hobbies. One of the more recent issues that has been occupying a bit of my brain time has been why it aggravates me so much when people are picky eaters. I hate to come off as pompous but I find there is very little that comes across my plate whether at a restaurant, friend’s house, work luncheon, etc. that I refuse to eat. The concept of absolutely denying the right of a piece of food to enter my mouth is a borderline ludicrous concept for me. Granted, there are things I would rather not eat, or would prefer not to have enter my mouth because the taste is a bit unpleasant, but if need be I will place it on my tongue, chew it vigorously, and swallow. I am also fully capable of acting like I enjoy everything. Apparently this is one of my superpowers, as there are millions of people that simply cannot eat certain foods.
