Connie - I've tried and tried to like blue cheese but something about the aroma just gets to me. Maybe I had a bad experience with it as a child and it's burned into my brain. Apparently kid brains are very sensitive to "bad food experiences" and once that connection is made, it's nearly impossible to unmake it. For healthy evolutionary reasons . My boyfriend still won't eat mayo as a mature adult, because of a childhood incident. He won't even eat sour cream, because it looks the same and his stomach curdles. So that's a shame, with all the yummy stuff that comes with blue cheese on it.

Everyone's digestive system and how our bodies process food is different. Perhaps there also could be a natural aversion to some types of food that our brains subconsciously believe is "bad" for us (as in presenting a health risk). Let's face it, what makes blue cheese blue is the particular type of mold. Mold is a bacteria and humans generally view bacteria as a health risk.
This is an evolutionary reason.
There is some research that shows some of this may be inherited in our DNA from our ancestors so maybe if not you, Lisa, one of your early ancestors might have experienced a strong negative reaction to this type of mold.

Lori - My mom adores stinky cheeses of all types, so I didn't get it from her! . My dad doesn't like cheese at all, though. So maybe I'm a mix of them.

I had a soup and salad lunch Japanese-style. Fresh spring greens (although it's summer) with fresh lemon ponzu dressing (homemade), tofu w/ scallions and garlic edamame. Miso soup.

Ate a mix of things today - two EAS shakes, a salad, a few wild mushroom ravioli, and apples plus peanut butter.
Did you guys have a salad in your mix?
