sorry, if you want social media to be less toxic, you are obligated to be all in favor of food posts, which are objectively way less toxic than the vast majority of other topics

yes, sure, food discourse can get salty sometimes, but take it from me as someone who has been known to intentionally start food discourse as a distraction from other, worse discourses: food discourse rarely gets THAT bad compared to so many others

The stakes in mocking ketchup-on-hotdog enjoyers or people who think there are pizzas with pineapple* on are so incredibly low *I'm not a denier, I know Hawaiian-inspired Italian-style flatbread food products exist, but clearly pineapple is not a pizza topping, so foods with pineapple are not pizza

this. i think food as a topic is almost inherently less toxic because, unlike politics, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter what anybody else does for dinner... and from that flows even the arguments i've seen about food tending to be more lighthearted. "best potato chip" isn't important.
