    no, fuck you, and learn what a comfort food is for autistic people

    I won’t “appreciate the years the chef spent honing their craft” because I will be too busy having a sensory meltdown over how weird and slimy the food is or how the tastes are too overwhelming

      no, fuck you

      First of all, don't threaten me with a good time.

      Second, I'm exaggerating to parody the WEF "You will eat the bugs" meme, not proposing a real policy where people are forced to eat different food.

      Third, when I talk about societal standards I'm talking as a broad generality. Obviously there will be reasonable exceptions to most social standards and accomodations should be made for those people. If I say "the societal standards of fitness is too low, everyone should be able to climb a flight of stairs", I'm not trying to target the elderly, or pregnant people, or people with disabilities or illnesses, etc. Nor does the existence of those people invalidate the point.

      Edit: I saw your other post on accommodating people with sensory issues. I want to say that I agree that people should be accommodated and add that a skilled chef or cook is going to be much more able to accommodate people with specific requirements compared to someone who is forced to cook to a rote recipe or is just heating up pre-prepared food.
