You mentioned you find food a weird thing to talk about. I think the reason why it's brought up so much is that it's a conversation topic people use when they want to connect with someone but don't know where to start. Kind of like the weather. Everyone's subject to the weather, and everyone has to eat food. Usually using those topics is a sure-fire way to find some common ground with someone. Knowing that, do you still find it a strange topic of conversation?
boring and divisive topic. strange process, you have to eat other living things. i mean how would you like to be eaten, honestly. seems mean but what if the eater had virtually no choice, according to the rules of the game
