There are many people in this world that I just cannot stand. DMV workers, people who lie and cheat, attention whores with Mohawks and fans of Dave Matthews Band...just to name a few. But the cake has to go to people who disrespect food. Of any type. I know there are some foods out there that are strange and so foreign to us that we cannot even imagine how we would ever want to eat {insert atypical food here} to sustain our health. Pig Rectum, stinky tofu, larvae--these don't sound appealing to some, but you must remember something, these foods have a) kept a civilization alive, b) have been fed to hungry children when parents had no idea where their next meal would come from, or c) have been ingrained and passed down in family traditions. So who are you to turn your noise at a food just because you didn't have to eat it or did not grow up with it? I suggest the next time you want to obnoxiously exclaim, "Ew! That's gross!" take a step back, put yourself in that person's shoes and maybe try the food before you say it's disgusting. Now, of course, there are exceptions. If you do not eat a certain food due to dietary or religious reasons then you have a legit excuse to turn down the food--POLITELY.
