Gross Grub . . .

I just got finished watching a TV program by National Geographic. It was about taboo foods or gross grub. Examples included maggot swarming cheese, rotten fish that had been buried for 6 months in mud, rodent consumption, etc. (I'm NOT sure if geophagy (consumption of dirt) was addressed, but it would have fit). Anyway, the advocacy seemed to be that taste is learned. And, people can be trained to love the most revolting disgusting flavors. I believe for many people--probably the majority--taste is learned and that even ordinary dirt can be a favorite. If people can believe dirt or the like is excellent food, then it should come as NO surprise the many people believe disfigurment is attractive. This maleability surprises me NOT at all and is probably highly intelligent survival tactic. So when you talk with strip club customers and you hear BIG BREASTS or LONG LEGS over and over and over should you believe it? Maybe or Maybe NOT. In the black clubs I frequent GIANT FAT women are definitely the favorites. And, this comes as a shock to me because I do NOT see the sales pitch. It should be that black males should be brain washed into seeking pretty much the same type women as white males. Having said that I'm NOT sure that even a majority of white males are deeply concerned about looks one way or the other. Unlike the black males that I see, the majority of white males that I see seem to have NO *real actual* preference in regards to how a woman looks. Meanwhile, I wondering why the dancers I drool for are so rare? That doesn't seem like a good survival tactic. Perhaps it was because Mom was such a heavy drinker when she was pregnant with me or perhaps it was the damn broccoli (sp?) she loved. After watching gross grub it became even easier for me to fathom the "trophy woman" syndrome. Many people want what they think other people want. So if their buddies like to smear excrement on their face, then they to want smear excrement on their face. The popularity of President Bush is also easier to understand. ;)
