#589; In which Meat is judged

Character 1: Ooh, the lunchmeat’s gone bad
Character 2: <>

Character 2: It’s fine. You want mustard on yours?
Character 1: <
Character 1: Don’t eat that! It’s definitely off!
Character 1: If you even have to smell it twice–

Character 2: Here’s how I see it. We’re evolutionarily adapted to be repulsed by things that could make us ill.
Character 2: So — if your reptile-brain is telling you to stay away, it probably knows something about the particular tolerance of your particular immune system. But my reptile-brain thinks I can handle it. It’s telling me it’s sandwich tyme.

Character 1: My reptile-brain is telling me that your theory smells rotten.
Character 2: Exactly!
Character 2: Because you cannot HANDLE it.
