    the lab grown meat thing is still so bizarre to me. Does meat actually taste good to people? I guess it must but it's always been disgusting to me.

    Just give me a bean patty on my dumb american burger, it's fine and better than anything resembling meat

      Meat is tasty, but a black bean burger piled high with fried onions, cheese and mayo is also a winner in my book.

        yeah something must be wrong in my brain then. I can't consume meat without feeling gross and it's been like that since I was a child.

          Eh, we're all a little different. I honestly. I like carbs and oils, myself. Pastas, breads, rice. Granted, I've been cutting down on that myself. It would be nice to see a world where meat consumption would be drastically down. Heck, I keep waffling about going pescatarian within a few years.

      I enjoy vegetarian and bean based items, but they don't taste like meat. Which makes sense since you don't like meat. Still, what you're portraying is a gross indifference(gross as in mass, not any judgement) to the fact that people have differences from your opinions/tastes.

      I don't like the taste of: celery, blue cheese, pickles, some other pickled items, a lot of sweet stuff, tabasco sauce, surcalose, sweet coconut (I like savory coconut though) and a number of other edible items. Do I think it's crazy other people enjoy that stuff? No, because I realize other people exist, have different opinions, tastes, and priorities than I do.

      My tastes do not make me superior to others; simply different. Stopped being shok0ed people aren't you. You are neither the only person to exist, nor are you more important than others who exist. You are you, and I am me. And they are them. I am also not more important than any other existence, and neither are they.

        oh my tastes make me inferior. I wish I could be like everyone else and it's caused me immense distress my entire life

          My apologies, I misinterpreted your tone. I didn't want to give anyone a sense of isolation, but rather an acceptance of inclusion. We're all weird in different ways, but we're all weird togther in different ways.
