What food don't you eat for reasons unrelated to taste or allergy?

[Arella18]

I don't eat chicken because of how they treat teh chickenz before they're slaughtered.

This. Except I won't eat anything that is meat, anything containing meat or anything containing meat derivatives. That includes gelatine and rennet which are in jelly based (jello for you American people) and some cheese based foods respectively.

Yes, I'm a VEGETARIAN!

But seriously, it's not just the chickens, all animals get a raw deal when they're slaughtered, aside from the whole dying thing. I think it's all become just an industry where animals are moved along a conveyer belt and are thoughtlessly killed simply for our pleasure. Do you have any idea how much we waste? That's animals killed for nothing and in my book that's wrong.

Oh I won't touch McDonalds either... anything from them. You can't eat ANYTHING in there without ingesting some form of animal, especially the milk shakes. Besides, it's not even real food really.

Fuck mayonnaise. I never really had a problem with it, or the taste, until I saw someone make some by filling a glass with oil, plop an egg in, and mix it up.

I mean, I'm not a health nut, by any stretch of the imagination (moar red meat, bacon and cheese on that salad, please), but even I was turned off by the idea of basically eating straight fat with a little egg in.

I'm with you on that. I will never choose to eat Mayonnaise for the very same reason, I mean raw eggs? People get salmonella from that you know! Urgh...

If you won't eat meat by products then wouldn't that make you Vegan?

I tend to avoid eating any baby animals...and I can't eat any animal that I named or saw being raised.

and I can't eat any animal that I named or saw being raised.

Did you........ did you have to make that choice at some point?

Wordsss...

No, Vegans are the sort who won't eat anything that comes from animals in any capacity, such as milk, eggs, cheese etc...

I have no problem with dairy products, no animal has to die or suffer for us to obtain that. Unless you count intensive milk farming and battery farming... but that's a whole other debate!

Meat. Kills the world, results in unnecessary starvation.

Wait, what? I don't even...

 

[Slippers]

If it tastes ok and I'm not likely to die because I ate it, feel free to bring anything to the table.

Oh and I love meat, roughly 60-70% of my calorie intake comes from meat. Truth be told, I never actually understood vegeterians, the lot of em just seem kinda... off.

I've never seen a single reliable research that stated that eating a chicken killed of 4 months of someones life, well except that of the chicken.

And if an animal dies, big deal. I don't see anyone mourning because a worm in their stomach kicked the bucket. I never understood what made cows more divine than say the Treponema pallidum bacteria.

Agreed. I love how must vegans who seem to have that "I R SUPERHERO FUR NT EETING MEET " mindset ignore that, for the better part of our existence, we have survived solely on meat. If you can say "I am vegetarian because I don't like the taste of meat" then I can respect that...but if you make up a bunch of nonsense about how you are saving the world and lots of animals because you aren't eating meat -sigh-.

Yeah...I grew up around farms...and I helped raised some chickens.

 

[velcrokidneyz]

Onions, IDK whenever i eat them i gag. except for those delcious inion strings or the frenchs onion crisp things, oh and funyuns

 

[Grayjack]

I don't eat oranges because they feel weird when you chew them.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

Veal, I can eat a grown animal but not a tortured baby cow.

 

[omega 616]

I don't eat most shellfish cause they're icky.

And donner Kebab, no matter how drunk I get.

Oh and venison, cause they're wee babies.

But lamb, which is killed younger than venison is okay? The way I see it is dead, either eat it or let it go to waste and as that old saying goes "eat not want not" ... yeah, i don't get it either.

The only foods I don't eat are down to flavour/taste, I don't have any allergies (atleast none that I know of).

So my input was worthless ...

 

[DustyDrB]

Well, pork has a terrible aftertaste to me, but I also don't eat it because I hate its texture. Anyway, I generally eat healthy (and shut up. It's not even expensive to do). That covers a lot of food. I do indulge on some Ben and Jerry's (cheesecake brownie!) from time to time.

I don't eat popcorn because those remaining bits of the kernel get stuck in annoying places in my teeth.

 

[-Adracko-]

Tomatoes, onions, and peppers. Purely because of the texture makes me gag.
I also dont like nuts of any kind and im not entirely sure why.

 

[Levitas1234]

Nothing really, i don't have irrational reasons to not eat something.

 

[Nouw]

Food with hair on it, I tried it for 'teh starving kids l0l' but I just can't. Hell it may taste good but the look gets me

 

[yundex]

I try to avoid anything that isn't all natural/organic. Anything with corn syrup, hydrogenated oils and other poisons especially. I've been eating 99% organic for almost a year now and anytime I eat something non organic I get headaches and feel sick.

 

[Biosophilogical]

human flesh

Also, veal. I try not to eat baby things.

EDIT: A post a few spots up had a quote, which was about shellfish. I don't tend to eat things like mussels (funny looking and weird texture),, I'll eat crab and shrimp, but I won't eat Moreton Bay Bugs (ick, bug-things!) for the same reason I wouldn't eat giant grasshoppers, or spider or something, because bugs are f***ing creepy looking.

 

[BX3]

Veal: Cuz seriously, f--k veal.

Chicken Legs/wings: Comes from how picky I was as a kid. I hate those black or rubbery fat bits on the legs cuz of the texture, so I usually don't bother with the leg period. As for wings, they aren't worth it. They just aren't. I don't care if they're cheap, I get more meat from Hormel Chili.

Chocolate (kinda): I haven't given it up completely (it's chocolate), but I pretty much quit everything that has to do with Hershey's and Nestle (I live in America, and we get s--t chocolate). I still eat stuff like choco-pretzels from Albenese, Equal-Exchange bars and the occasional fund raiser chocolate, but because of how most cocoa is farmed, I always feel kinda guilty after eating.

 

[dancinginfernal]

Seafood.

There's just something about the texture that makes me want to spit it out immediately.
