Well, you know, it's both.

We should be tolerant and more welcoming of other peoples' choices that don't affect us.

And sometimes we're being even worse-- being a real asshole because other people aren't able to make the choices we're sneering at them for-- because of reasons of ability, or economics, or what's possible in the place they live, etc.

When we are ready to form snap judgments of people for what appears to be their preference, we may actually be judging them for ability or economics or location or cultural background. We may be judging them for something they have little ability to control.

> Don't like pre-minced garlic? Don't use it.

There's a million things you can do to make food better. Yes, fresh ingredients are better, hand-prepared with no wait, etc.

But unless you are spending all day and oodles of money making a Michelin-class meal, you're making some tradeoffs-- tradeoffs of cost, time, effort, learned skills. And you can still make a fantastic meal that's much better than what people typically eat with pre-minced garlic and shredded commodity cheese.

But it's pretty easy for us to collectively turn judgey on small specific things.
