The point was that "food reactions" and dislike isn't necessarily about if something is actually "bad" (a.k.a. Cruel and Unusual Punishment) as liberals like to say, but more about "taste" and "familiarity".
So, your comment about me thinking people from other country's is just ignorant. If you had actually paid attention, instead of being a race on the brain ignorant bigot, you would have instead "guessed" that I was thinking what I just said.

Thus, minor "discomfort" in eating something cannot be considered "cruel and unusual punishment".
Now of course, some people are "allergic" to certain things or many. Me, there are many things I can't actually eat, that normal Americans always eat, things like Tomatoes, Squash, Onions, and a couple of other things. Tomatoes and Squash I will actually throw up, and I'm not talking "spit out" because of uncomfortable taste. Of course, if the food is "changed" in some way, then I can or could potentially eat it. Like Tomatoes, I love Tomato Sause (non-chunky), so I love Italian Food (of course I'm half Italian and whatever so I should).

So, NutriLoaf while being "uncomfortable" to eat for some, is clearly still "edible" since nobody is clearly starving, thus doesn't fit the definition of "cruel".
Further, this is actually why waterboarding isn't considered "torture" by people who actually understand it. It "seems" scary, but isn't at all.
I can for example just lay there and take a nap while it's done to me, because nothing is actually happening to you. It's all in the mind and "play acting".
In contrast, pulling out someone's nails IS in fact torture, etc. This is why Waterboarding and other things are called "Enhanced Interogation". They are just below what torture actually is. They are things that can be very uncomfortable to some, but they don't rise to torture. If Waterboarding was actually "torture" Navy Seals and other professionals wouldn't do it. I wouldn't have done it when I had someone do it to me.... LOL Of course, I can actually sleep in deep water my floating skills are so controlled and relaxed. So someone pooring water on my head/mouth with a rage over my face is just another day at the park to me. But people not prepared, it can seem scary.

Of course faqs can float while sleeping. He can do anything. Haven't you been reading his posts?

He was a Marine, a martial arts expert, a football star, he survived being water boarded, he killed him a bear when he was only three.....

He's like Aquaman, Superman, Captain America and the Flash all rolled into one.

And he sings like a cross between Pavarotti and Josh Groban. Just ask him and he'll tell you when he's done floating during waterboarding, levitating, vanishing and reappearing.

Omg! He's a Wizard!

Wow.... how you people so willingly bear false witness.
And pray tell how do YOU KNOW I can't sleep in water floating?

I learned to swim so well and so relatively young that when I was 7 I was DIVING off the High Dive at our community pool.
Not just jumping off, but full strait and jacknife high dives.

It's so facinating how ignorant bigoted people (a.k.a. liberals) "mock" people that have skills, experience, and knowledge they don't, so they "assume" the person is lying, has no talents, etc.

FYI.... I'm not the first person on this planet to have a lot of experience and developed skills.
So, while you people were becoming Grammer/Spelling pet peeve experts, I was developing other skills.
