It’s Hard To Look Good While Eating….

I was hesitant to post the picture of Craig eating the egg onion bagel in the post below this because of a certain theory I have, a theory that goes: “It’s hard to look good while eating a bagel and cream cheese.”

Nothing grosses me out more than globs of cream cheese on someone’s lips while they snap and tear at a chewy overstuffed bagel. I know I’d hate to watch ME eat a bagel and cream cheese, which is why I mostly eat bagels and cream cheese on my own.

Which leads to a question for you, readers: which foods do you hate to watch other people eat? Have you ever been on a date and gotten totally turned off by watching your date consume something unattractive? Let it all out in the comments.
