How does this happen?

You'd think animals would evolve to taste nasty, so that people won't eat them.

Actually, some animals do this.

Yes, they do. So taste of animal is a factor in evolution. Sometimes it is positive and sometimes it is negative.

Well, hot peppers, for example, evolved to be really hot so they're uneatable. 

Now people eat them BECAUSE they're hot. 

Stupid peppers

WOrd, some people eat some WEIRD stuff (i.e. snails).  I like chile though, yay for weird me.

[iago]

Yeah, snails are slimy and gross. 

Is that an evolutionary advantage, to protect from from predators?  Or is it just good fortune?  Who knows?

It's an acquired taste.  For example, in my culture (Cambodian), spiders and beatles are delicacies, but that doesn't necessarily mean all Cambodians eat them.  I sure as hell don't, because the mere thought is just stomach-churning, but for the elders, they find it delicious.

I'll try any kind of food, no matter how gross, as long as I know it's been properly prepared (so it won't poison me).  I only worry about catching diseases from weird food that hasn't been prepared right. 

Disclaimer: except for fish.  I refuse to touch most kinds of fish, I hate the smell, taste, and texture of every fish I've ever eaten.  The sound and sight are ok, normally, just to finish off the list of senses.

Haha, me too. Most people think I'm weird, I can barely eat fish sticks, nevermind real fish. Shit's nasty.

Fish is disgusting. It takes like gross chicken, and I hate the feel of it.

[Adron]

Fish is great. I love oven baked salmon. There is little better.

It seems like the people here who listen to heavy metal music are also the people who don't like fish. 

Coincidence? Hmm!

Heavy metal is disgusting. It sounds like a screaming gross chicken, and I hate the feel of it.


Btw, I just had fish au gratin for dinner. Tasty!

I can think of one exception, swedish fish kick ass. Sure they aren't really fish, and they probably aren't swedish either, but mmm. Candy rocks.

You can't headbang to fish, unless you're easily amused.
