Yep. Just like free speech. Same principle. You can say what you like but people get to tell you when you’re being an arsehole.

As a kid I wanted the liquid meds that tasted like banana milkshake.
Not gonna lie, I still do.

No, you only think you do.
That aftertaste is no joke…

Fair point. It’s been 40 years. Probably tastes like filth.

I felt the same way about the “grape” flavour of Dimetapp when I was a kid. In the years since I think they made it deliberately more unpalatable (either that or I can’t deal with the cloying sweetness like I used to).

Not sure if these are internationally available (I hope not for your sake) but these are flavoured with the banana medicine additive. Not recommended.

FBB reformed after the lead singer (Angel, natch) left to record the solo album ‘Lemon Posset’ and then returned together with legendary session singer Sherry Trifle. They really gelled after that!
(Time for my meds. G’night.)

They look like Circus Peanuts.
I still shudder a bit when I see those things in the store.

Have met a few guys like this. As the article points out, they usually only end up confronting the issue after it creates significant problems for them in romantic relationships.
I remember someone once said
If you’re married to a vegan, you are also a vegan
and by that same logic,
If you’re married to someone with an eating disorder, you also have an eating disorder
(I’m not implying that veganism is a disorder, merely pointing out that eating together is the basis of a surprisingly large percent of any romantic relationship.)

With a diet like that? Colorectal.
Makes its own gravy!
Try it together with an ice cold slurm.
Slurm! It’s highly addictive!TM

A guy I work with, mid 20’s, went to culinary school, was a serious chef for a while, bowed out from the intense amount of work and pressure.
So it’s weird to see him eating pizza and meatball subs at work all the time. But I don’t think that’s ALL he eats, just what he eats at work.
Anyway I think there are probably different reasons why men (and women) still eat junk food as adults. I went on a sugary cereal kick when I was in my 20’s because my parents rarely bought them-- I needed to try Capn Crunch and Fruity Pebbles. After a couple years I was done with them, but it may be that some people take longer to grow out of that phase.

Consevatism and ease of disgust are really intimately linked.
If someone is easily disgusted by food, or smell, or otherness, then it’s a near certainty that they are also politically conservative as well.
I’d always noticed as a teenager that my conservative acquaintances and friends always seemed unreasonably squeamish with weak stomachs.
They’d love to talk a big game about whatever violent shit they’d like to perpetrate against immigrants or gay people. But then in biology class they couldn’t even keep themselves from gagging when it came time to dissect frogs.
