Debunking Food Myths

Posted by Traveller, March 31, 2008 at 9:40 AM

This idea comes from a post that was made earlier regarding strange things that people have overheard regarding food. So, my question is: when you overhear something strange, especially involving a food myth that someone believes (let's say that you hear it in a supermarket), do you try to correct them? Or do you just (inside) shake your head and move on?

For instance, I once overheard a couple of guys in a restuarant argue over why the *exact* spices that were used ina spice mix aren't listed, and although I was tempted, I didn't bother to tell them (mostly because of the potential to have to go into great detail) about the proprietary reasons for that sort of thing.

Does anyone actually talk to the people about it?
