After reading the "return two-month-old salmon" article I was just mad. What an egoistic, thoughtless, rich snob. It is soooo great to have a house here and an apartment there and still be proud of treating hard working poor people like trash, and "returning" x month old spoiled and rotten items. I am sure this "lady" never had to work as a frightened and exhausted assistant of assistant at the return point. Always knowing a single mad customer may cost your job (and it DID cost one of my jobs, when a crazy customer started accusing me of having made xxx mistakes, I was fired, and only eventually found out afterwards that nothing of this was true).

Thank you very much greedy rich lady and all you relatives and alikes, who are "now learning her ways". It is very nice to know idiots like you land in the New York Times, while I land on the street. And the New York Times itself knows well why this article does not have any "comments" enabled.

Sorry Serious Eats, nothing against your blog or this New York Times links here...Just got really furious about the blindness of some people :(

It's psychological :D It is peanut butter. All classical sandwiches have butter first and then on top of that anything else. Nobody thinks about the "density of peanut butter compared to jelly" unconsciously, except probably a few super-sophisticated food fanatics.

Do you spread your usual sandwich butter, mayo or mustard on top of your salad and tomatoes? I mean, unconsciously and automatically? I have sometimes mustard on the cheese, but the butter is always the base at the bottom... (it is fun to see how many people get moved by such a simple subject :D)

I absolutely agree with the first comment, it is a bad joke to see something as common and as old and as normal in a grown up human, as lactose intolerance, as "picky eating" or "food phobia". Of course everybody can eat everything, it is the free choice of grown up humans to have stomach cramps and other pains and symptoms. Or to buy and consume expensive supplements allowing some dairy digestion.There is no psychologist and no "shock therapy" out there to be able to "cure" something, which is present in almost all grown up mammals biologically, not only humans. And it is present since the beginning of any dairy consumption thousands of years ago. The reason why people kept eating dairy products was the good taste and the lack of other foods, and not the good digestion. People were lactose intolerant since the beginning of dairy consumption traditions. It is not any kind of "novel allergy" or "pathetic illusion".

"Eat everything" is the same possible as "do everything" (you can! just murder, and torture and abuse little children, you will see, everything is possible and will not have any consequences). Just do it. And let me in peace care about my body. I think the only pathetic guys are those, who are permanently annoying others with such articles (Slate) and such "approach", unhappy about their constant pains and health problems, caused by their silly "eat everything" philosophy, and proving how wrong their are with their Rambo theories.

There is a huge difference between "picky eating", "hypochondria" and being aware what happens around oneself and what one is really doing (in opposite to being dazed and confused or otherwise drugged). And even "picky eating" has its own right, if somebody is just deciding not to eat certain useless items, no matter how "great" others may think they are. And I am far far away myself from any picky eating habits, my family was way too poor to make such luxury ever possible.

I always loved dairy, especially cheese, but only since I am aware of lactose intolerance and the different lactose contents in dairy foods (so avoid pure milk, but can eat certain cheeses, butter and some yogurt), I can maintain something near to feeling well every day.
