I guess I'm just lucky to have an open mind when it comes to my pallet. A lot of people violently oppose "imitation" flavors because they have low-openness to new tastes.

I never favored the taste of real starch that much anyway, so "alternative" starch flavors don't strike me as all that offensive or shocking. I quite like the taste of atkins cereal in fact. Atkins bbq crunchers are very good too. I can't even tell the difference really between grain bread & arnolds controlled carb multigrain.

It's not just with starch either. A lot of people find veggie burgers disgusting because they're "different", although actually I love garden & boca burgers... and I am about as meat hungry a person there is. If they weren't so bad for you (with all the chemicals carbs & soy I have to pass) I would still eat them now .
