[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish people would be as tolerant for those who have food aversions as they are to other things that make people different from one another.

For those of you condemning people who dislike or won't eat certain things, did you ever try to become educated about it?

"About 20% of the population are “super-tasters”. Super-tasters have more taste buds than other people and are super sensitive to the bitter compounds found in some food and drinks, even at low concentrations. If you have inherited super-taster genes then cruciferous vegetables (flower vegetables in the cabbage family) like bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, radish, swede, turnip, and watercress will taste disgusting."

Eh.  I'm a supertaster.  I do actually like some of those vegetables (broccoli, bok choi, and watercress), assuming they are cooked well, although I did not like them as a kid.   And what OP is describing isn't "super tasting," anyway.  He's just an adult with an extremely limited palate, who doesn't cook, either, which means that a long-term relationship will either involve lots of fights about food, or OP having to either cook two meals or adjust to the guy's restrictions.  That gets old really fast. [/quote]
