Read dater x's post which made made me properly have one of Oprah's lightbulb moments.

Dater X phrases it in a nutshell: "If something tastes like dirt, don't eat it. Just stop eating it and throw it away. This is what I need to do." I'm not going to buy mac and cheese that I know will probably taste like dirt because it always tasted like dirt. Cuts out the process of tasting, eating and throwing away. Easier to just not buy it in the first place.

Yay for lightbulbs!
