I’ve got a pretty severe sensitivity to – of all things – sugar. (I know, “sugar” isn’t very precise, but I’m pretty sure it’s either glucose, fructose, or sucrose.) I virtually never eat anything with added sugar or anything with any significant amount of natural sugar. And I’ve eaten that way for like 20 years now. I’m practically blind to half the produce department (any “sweet” fruits like apples, pears, cherries, grapes, oranges, etc) at the grocery store, let alone the candy isle.
Mushrooms. Ever since I learned more about mushrooms than I ever wanted to know in school like 30 years ago I haven’t been able to even touch them.
is there anything specific that made u not want to eat them or just the general in-depth knowledge? I find often the more I know about a food the less appealing it seems
How they replicate with spores, the string like structure of their root equivalent and their internal structure are the most disgusting parts for me.
fair enough they are pretty alien
I have literally eaten entire plates of only mushroom. I fucking love the texture and the nuttiness is just so fuck good
They just make me shit my pants. Wish I could eat them tho, they’re in lots of good food.
Baby food.
Agreed, unless you get kidney stones, then it’s pretty much the only thing you can ingest, other than water…
I don’t understand baby food. If your diet is relatively healthy you can just give them your normal food.
You want to start then of on single ingredients to get them used to different flavours and to check for allergies. It also has to be blended up smooth enough for them to eat, and at that point, it looks very different from what an adult would eat.
Depends on what the food is and how many teeth they have.
Meat, nobody tastes good anymore.
MC Donalds and similiar. Crispy oven pommes and self-made burger beats greasy pommes and spongy burger tasting like old socks.
I don’t know that I’ve ever thought of something as inedible. But, I will say that, when I stop eating sugar for awhile, it is crazy tasting going back to it.
Going through these phases has helped me to understand what people mean when they say American food is too sweet, especially things like sandwich bread which I never thought of as sweet before.
It also makes sense about desserts that are “sickeningly sweet” - I’ve always had a sweet tooth (have one now) so I never thought of it that way. But whenever I go back to these desserts it becomes pretty obvious what people mean.
Goulash, pot roast, chili, and all the other shit I ate regularly while growing up in the Midwest.
Most cheese, really. I mean, I can eat it, but it rarely adds anything good to a meal for me. It wasn’t until I spent a good chunk of time in Erope ad came that I realized how much cheese we put on everything and how it just makes everything taste like, well, cheese.
So, I no longer add cheese as a topping to most things.
I have kinda recently developed a distaste for junk food also mayonnaise i hate that shit with all my heart.
I’ve gotten much more omnivorous as I get older, but have not eaten a fast food burger since I was a little kid. Don’t remember being bothered by them back then (unless they involved ketchup) but it’s been at least 40 years and they seem like inedible items to me now, I’d much rather have nothing.
Popeyes chicken I can still eat, and the American Chinese fast food. Oh and fries from about anywhere, though I don’t consider them nutrition, I like 'em.
alcohol of any form I will not consume… I’m not against getting fucked up, I smoke weed but alcohol itself is just absolutely nasty to me. hate how it tastes, hate how it feels
I also avoid ketchup or ketchup based products like BBQ sauce… I just think it tastes bad… I like mustard… I have been like this since a very young age
Same here. I even use certain hallucinogens like psychedelics and salvia on occasion, but I absolutely abhor alcohol or any downer with every fiber of my being.
How do you consume your salvia out of curiosity? I want to try it but I’m hesitant because smoking it feels risky and I hear sublingual tastes awful
Usually just do sublingual, I’ve smoked it a couple of times but have found the onset to be waaaay too fast for me personally. I believe you can make a tea with it too but it’d probably be a lot milder of an effect kind of like mushroom tea.
Meat, 18 years.
I was like you for some time (low fodmap) and vegan. Then I eat that stuff again and I had a hard time to digest these food and felt some pain
My wife was vegan for several years and went back to vegetarianism. She was always tolerant of my omnivorous diet, so long as I was mindful of cross-comtamination. I got used to eating her choice of proteins as well, and now I eat nearly as much vegetarian substitutes as I do meat. But holy fuck, does red meat tear me up now with the most painful and absurdly disgusting smelling farts, with a volume and frequency so great that it could blow down a brick townhouse.
Soda, or anything with fizz
I didn’t eat meat for 25 years. When people around me would be eating a meat centered meal I would feel like they must still be hungry when they were done because only like 25% of their plate was food? I couldn’t imagine how meat could be filling, since it wasn’t food.
didn’t eat meat for 25 years
not my business at all, can I ask what changed?
I have a connective tissue disorder that makes my muscles, tendons and ligaments prone to tearing. Eating extra protein won’t help, per se, since it’s just a bad genetic code for making those structures, but being protein deprived wasn’t doing me any favors. Of course it’s possible to get enough plant protein, but it’s a lot of work and you have to eat about twice the volume of food to get enough. I had major depression and eating at all was difficult, so a big bulky vegan meal was just not happening.
Since eating meat my joints no longer pull apart like taffy at the slightest strain. And I have enough iron to donate blood regularly! The depression is better too, but I’ve had a lot of therapy and done a lot of work as well, so I can’t say if it’s related.
I am lucky to live in an area where it’s very easy to get all animal products from nice small farms where animals are well cared for and just have “one bad day.” It was still very hard at first, I would weep while preparing a chicken for the oven. But I’ve gotten used to it.
Vegans incoming…
Where? Doubt any vegans would hate on “I literally have to for medical reasons”
Weird narrative to try and push
Have you seen the vegans who feed their fucking cats vegan food until they die?
No, I’ve never met any real life vegan or vegetarian that would purposefully put a living beings life in danger for the sake of not putting living beings in danger.
Because that would be very very stupid of them. Maybe I don’t hang around enough idiots though.
Meat clearly isn’t gonna be a unique answer here, but it does have a weird effect on what it feels like to travel to different countries when your diet doesn’t revolve around animals.
Where other people see tons of street food and opportunities for interacting with a culture, some places mostly just feel empty.
Not meaning it in a judging way, but there are tons of places where I don’t really feel welcome.
Also how is your butthole doing, bro?
My country would be one of those places unfortunately. It’s extremely animal protein centric. And although I’m not a vegetarian myself, I really wish we had more options around here.
