I don't like pumpkin pie at all, I've gotta say. I don't know why anyone does. Pumpkin tastes bland and vegetal to me. It's a pie where everything else is trying really hard to make up for the fact that the main ingredient is poor. It's like a savory pie someone tried to change to a dessert pie halfway through.
I've had pumpkin pies people went nuts over and I can barely swallow it. I need to drown it in whipped cream to even get it down.
When you eat a food and can hardly swallow it does that make you uncomfortable
Yes! Is this a sexual thing?
no, i guess it's- some sort of self-possession thing. i'm not sure. it doesn't bother me that there are a few very popular foods i don't enjoy. it would have bothered me when i was younger and more desperate for social approval but now i'm fine with it. but when there are foods i cannot swallow, it feels like a defect rather than a preference. it is useful (and, i think, speaks well to my basic discipline) that i could take a big bite or sip of a detested food to avoid being rude or to avoid starving if it's all that's available. coughing or gagging as i try to choke it down makes me feel like a child.
Wait are we saying that how easily you can control your body is the same thing as discipline
To me gagging on a food is like kicking when the doctor hits my knee with his little device. There's no moral component. Maybe I could train myself not to do it but it's fundamentally different from refusing to do something because it's hard or unpleasant. Basic discipline to me connotes, like, keeping your mouth shut when unfairly castigated by a boss, or holding your temper when your significant other behaves badly.
i sometimes gag even when i like the thing i'm eating
bodies are just very stupid things
nothing i do ever makes me feel more like a complete idiot than doing this
Me: *coughing fit*
Friend: "haha, hey man, you ok?"
Me still coughing: "Swallowed wrong."
Friend: "...but you weren't drinking anything?"
Me: "*cough* I don't wanna *cough* talk about *cough* it *cough*"

i did a visiting scientist rotation once, and the lab all went out for thai food and there was this guy there who was religiously vegetarian
i ordered the pad thai and was like "yeah, I eat this even though it's usually not vegetarian" and he was like "i'm sorry what" and i was like "dude most recipes use fish sauce" and he got really upset, asked the waiter, verified that yes, they use fish sauce in their pad thai, and had kind of an emotional breakdown because he'd been eating there for years
i felt pretty bad about that, and kind of still do....
I respect that vegetarians generally have better ethics and morals than I do (when it comes to food), and I don't want to shame somebody for making better choices than I do
but fish sauce is used in tiny amounts and it's made from anchovies. as long as it's not being massively overfished (which it is in some regions, but not everywhere) it's just not a species I can find myself giving much of a shit about
your pad thai might have killed one-eighth of an abundant schooling fish with a brain the size of a grain of rice
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Why does that not work with higher lifeforms?

- Isn't factory-farmed
- Can hypothetically be slaughtered with the consent of the animal
- If it isn't being raised explicitly as livestock (ie, we're not breeding them and increasing their numbers to satisfy a market for long pig), slaughtering and eating them actually reduces our ecological footprint
Long pig is potentially a highly ethical and sustainable food

HIPAA allows for the patient to give specific permission to reveal PHI.
Edit: Oh right.
So, I'm not sure how it works with COVID stuff, but for example, when I took FMLA leave recently because my dad was in the hospital, it wasn't 'required' for me to give my dad's PHI, but it was required for my FMLA to be approved. Basically, FMLA was a privilege; if I wanted to take advantage of it, I had to provide PHI.
