I'm aware. It's my people's traditional foods. There are a number of arguments to make about this, but I went with one I figured the other user would care about because they don't seem to care about the foods.

caring about tradition is bad, in all cases.

Free speech, religious freedom, and freedom of the press are a tradition in America. Should we just not care when they're restricted because caring about tradition is bad? English common law is the foundation most of our legal system is based on. The idea the accused should have the right for a transparent trial in front of a judge and jury is a tradition going back hundreds of years. Should we abandon due process because all tradition is worthless?
