Spicy food.

I can’t comprehend how individuals or entire cultures choose to just deal with the pain until they build a tolerance.

Sure it probably made sense when the choice was to starve or to eat something that hurts (even a little), but as soon as non-painful food was available, why continue with the kind containing “Don’t eat me!” chemicals?

it’s not painful to people who have a natural tolerance to it
I guess if that’s really a genetic thing and not learned then it makes sense, but that isn’t the impression I’ve gotten.

I’ve definitely met people who physically cannot tolerate spicy food, but then I’ll go and eat the exact same thing and think it’s quite pleasant.

obviously I’m not calling you a liar, but I’ve definitely seen it happen
