Every bite will still be sweet and tangy and yummy to me, and slimy and disgusting to Greg. The tomato itself remains the same.

Hey, how'd I get dragged into this.

And speak for yourself lady. Those truly evolved among us who recognize the tomato as the orb of evil that it is are surely superior beings.

Yeah, I was with you on the idea that liking a movie or not is ultimately entirely subjective and personal, but enjoying raw tomatoes really is a sign of physical and/or mental defect.

I have to endorse forced sterilization for people who like both tomatoes and raisins.

What if we only like one of those?

I take the opposite approach to the tomato question. I will grant the average adult one or two foods within our cultural eating taboos that they are allowed not to like. Any more, and the person is either suffering from a genetic disability or a failure of will.

Meh, what's a little deadly nightshade between friends, eh?

Besides, if you've only had refrigerated tomatoes, I'm not surprised you find them slimy and disgusting. A good chef will see that his tomatoes are kept at, or at least brought to, room temperature before serving. The tomato's flavor is also enhanced (albeit altered) by cooking.

Tomatoes are amazing... to those of us with palates advanced enough to appreciate them

And what if a person likes raw potatos?

My mom loves to go to the movies, and now that my wife is unable to get out of the house I go with her. She wasn't sure about the movie, but knew I wanted to see it. She really enjoyed it, and so did I. Ok, it may not have a lot of value other than a great action movie romp, but hey- that's a fun ride once in a while!
