Mushrooms are shenwrong. Shenry is disgusted by mushrooms. They are a fungus. Fungus feasts on decay. Athlete's foot and ringworm are fungi. My free living bachelor buddy, Brooklyn, used to have mushrooms sprouting up behind his toilet. And shenry is supposed to put that shit in his mouth? Shenry don't play that. Shenry obsessively picks mushrooms off of pizza and methodically removes them from stir-fry. Nary a mushroom shall pass between his kissable lips. Mushrooms are shenwrong.

Upon careful review of shenry's mushroom disgust, one will notice that shenry doesn't mention taste. He's been mushroom abstinent for so long that he can't remember the fungal flavor. Sanitary concerns aside, shouldn't taste be the sole reason for not eating something? And really, aren't most of shenry's anti-mushroom sentiments dogmatic? And within the hierarchy of shenwrongness, dogma has got to be one of the top shenwrongs of all shenwrongdom. Ergo, mushrooms are shenwrong for shenwrong reasons, and we all know that two shenwrongs rarely make a shenright.

I'm sure that shenry isn't the only one around here with an irrational food dislike. This weekend let us revisit our ill-founded food prejudices. Eat something you claim you don't like. Be open-minded and give it your best effort, because "open-mindedness" and "best efforts" are totally shenright. In the end, shenry may still hate mushrooms and you may still hate pikachu flesh, but at least we tried and we will now have shenright arguments against mushrooms and pikachu flesh.
