For me, it's not the fact that people have aversions or allergies to a specific food or food group, it's that some feel the need to announce it to everyone within earshot and seem to categorize it as bad food. Like other posters, I was raised to not make a fuss or scene about food presented to me that I did not care for. I either ate it, or left it on my plate, without a word. If I was asked about it, I was to quietly advise that it was either something I did not care for, or was sensitive to, but not that it was bad food.
