I maybe have a guilt problem

So, okay, Graze lets you rate snacks: trash (never send), try (which is sort of the default), like (send occasionally), love (send regularly). I get a little fussed sometimes that there is no "send less often than default but still include sometimes" option, but whatevs.

Snacks can be put in the trash category for whatever reason, no justification needed. It can be as general (don't like a particular ingredient) or specific (don't like this particular combination) as you want. I felt okay about trashing most of the walnut stuff, because I generally don't like walnut, although I kept one of the things on 'try'. I felt sort of okay about trashing the one that sounded intriguing enough to be worth an eh ingredient (peanuts, which I am oddly meh about despite consuming vast quantities of peanut butter) but that I didn't even finish the package of.

But there was one that I tried tonight -- redskin peanuts, roasted hazels, jumbo raisins and cranberries -- that I wanted to be better than it was. I didn't dislike it, I just ... didn't enjoy it. It didn't make my mouth happy.

So, I considered marking it as trash, because why use one of four spots on something that I know I am indifferent about?

...and I got an immediate stab of self-inflicted guilt making me want to hide in a corner. Because how dare I make someone else ~feel bad~ (never mind that it's just a fucking website and if it can be said to have desires that desire would be to make people happy) and impose ~preferences~ (on a system that's designed to take my preferences wtf) and maybe if I ~tried harder~ I would ~learn to appreciate it better~ (...)

Yeah, I have no idea.

(no subject)

Hypothetical situation: take a family of four, two parents and two kids, that does a family breakfast every Sunday morning. Three of the four prefer option A as the food choice. The fourth prefers option B; will eat A (under some protest), and allergies are not an issue, but there is a definite preference. The other three will eat B but prefer A. 

This is a weekly occurrence, and the family needs to work out when to have which foods.

For arbitrary reasons, it is not possible to a) make both A and B for the same meal, b) find an option C that all people feel equally pleased with, or c) let dissatisfied members make their own breakfasts. It is always either A or B, and all participants must partake.
