narouz - speaking of assumptions....I'm of the xx chromosome part of the population my friend
My original post did not actually talk about taste or how delicious certain foods are. I was talking about the surprising outcome of my objective experience that eating along Peat's guidelines lacks variety, compared to how I have eaten in the past. This was a huge stumbling block for me to begin eating this way. And now the experience of eating this way has changed me, not my mind, not my 'ego', not my wishes. It was unexpected and I wondered if others had experienced this too. Or not. I personally am not interested in whether people find milk, cheese and eggs delicious. What does interest me is overcoming my food issues, finding better health and becoming a better person. My post was wanting to go down that path, to talk about a very important change that has been occuring for me.
I know you weren't talking to me specifically, but my :2cents. I don't care to much how others eat, or what they think of what I'm doing i.e. Peat. I've done what the 99% think is right and it took me to the brink both physically and mentally. I don't think I'm going to get too much support of value from my family, friends and co-workers. Can you imagine it?
Me: I'm not sure what to do, been feeling a bit tired lately and am got some acne, which is unusual for me.
Everyone else: Oh ok, that's no good. Maybe it's something you ate. What did you eat yesterday?
Me: Ummm, some eggs fried in coconut oil, cheese, a litre of OJ, couple of coffees with 4 sugars, 2 cokes, some liver and gummy bears.
Everyone else: are you out of f****** mind!!! Get this girl a salad, stat!
When I said "the question should be" I was trying to get at the notion
as I just said in my post of a few minutes ago,
that I don't think we should necessarily be too hasty in congratulating ourselves
for redefining "delicious" as an exclusive Peat province.
And I don't think we should necessarily be so hasty in derrogating what
the 99.99% of non-Peatians in the world consider "delicious."

It's not quite the same as saying that those 99.99% "can't all be wrong."
They could.
But I think it is good to have some degree of respect and consideration for their views
because that is one way to cultivate a bit of skepticism about ourselves.
Which I think is a good thing.
