> One of the great joys of life is food

The explanation probably starts here. This isn't true for me, and presumably isn't true for some other people as well.

Eat better food, and eat it mindfully. Really good food lights up every sense but hearing. Think of it like sex - you don't just hurriedly hop on top of each other and rub genitals as fast as possible until orgasm, that would be awful.

I've had food that is widely considered good, and while I do find it to be good, it's not good enough to be worth the trouble (which is where your analogy breaks down).

Really, it's just the day to day inconvenience of having to worry about where and what to eat that bugs me, because I don't enjoy food enough to make it worth the trouble.

This is a great argument, and it makes me think of my favorite tea bar / restaurant in SF, Samovar. However there are downsides to eating like that too: it costs more and takes more time (either to prepare yourself, or to wait at a restaurant).
