I think there are certain nutritional standards having to do with maintaining good health. Some things are known to bring us down healthwise--saturated fats, processed foods, and most importantly, sugar, are examples. If someone belts you for eating french fries and pasta carbonara every day, they may be considered to be a food snob. That's one kind.
The other kind is the person who likes to cook and follows the latest trends and methods and wouldn't, for example, tout Hamburger Helper over broiled salmon. Or like the fact that some restaurant is serving the same bland bagged salad with tired coated pre-shredded cheddar as opposed to whipping up their own salad dressing, shaving some onion, shredding some good cheese and using fresh lettuce and other creative toppings.
I think both these types of people have a point in today's food world.
Full disclosure: I didn't read the article. I'm too busy nuking my husband's dinner.
