Anna, a former member of the group, spoke about bitter melon in a

food tradition that she never liked.

I can understand that people eat bitter melon for real or perceived
medical reasons, for instance when they have diabetes. But it doesn't
taste better than a bunch of ground-up headache pills.

I eat bitter melon because of the taste, not because it'll make me
healthy. It doesn't matter much if people can't comprehend that. I'd eat
it more but it's 5 bucks a pound.

Maybe your Chinese way of cooking it makes something barely edible
taste good.

Perhaps the Chinese are so far advanced in their culinary
knowledge/history/tradition as to be incomprehensible to people that are
terrified of the world's food.

Of the world's unnecessary food additives, you mean. Of the crap that
gave you diabetes. You should have had the occasional glass of wine
instead, you scared wimp.

You don't know a thing about Chinese cooking. They don't add any
unnecessary food additives. Most home cooks don't add unnecessary food
additives. You're thinking about modern food processing which has a lot
of additives. The additives added are preservatives and stabilizers. The
reality is that additives are not added without reason. You seem
clueless about this. I'd like to see you make food that is able to be
consumed after sitting on the shelf for a year or two.

People like you usually think that others should be drinking booze like
themselves. My guess is that your liver is totally shot. My liver, OTOH,
is in tip-top shape. You lose?

You're guessing indeed, because you have no idea.

Normal people don't encourage other people to start drinking alcohol.
Normal people don't care what other people do.
