Seriously, talk about a classic first world problem. "Halp, there are too many kinds of food for me to eat, I don't know what to doooooo"

Wait.

Whole bunch of subjectivity there.

It's like if I kicked ten guys in the nads, and asked them to rate the pain on a scale of "one" to "watching Charles in Charge.

Pretty soon, I'd have "Supertactiles".

Supertasters actually do have something like twice the normal density of taste buds, which can apparently make some foods seem overwhelmingly salty or bitter. I highly doubt that most picky eaters are supertasters, though.

Then I'll just kick 'em REALLY hard, and claim that I'm trying to verify the Supertasters thing.

Also, if they are, it's just evidence that supertasters are an undesirable mutation which should be allowed to die off.

The OP does make a perfectly valid premise though. It's just looking at the wrong people for it's examples. It's these Diagnoctors who are all batshit crazies.
