On-screen text
One last adult to adult thing.
If somebody's currently eating some food and you don't like that food,
that's not grounds for you to sit in their face like,
I could never eat that. Oh,
I can never. Oh my god,
I don't know how you eat that.
Will you shut up?
Cause when you eat your same three things that you eat every week,
I don't say nothing to you.
So how about you shut up? You don't have to want this sea moss.
You don't have to like this tofu. You don't have to like this,
this salad. You don't have to like this.
You don't have to like none of this.
