Onions are just the most superior vegetable, change my mind.

That’s sugar. No. Really. Sugar straight up caused the slave trade to explode in the 1500s and 1600s. Later Hitler turned it into Zycklon - B.

Interesting perspective, and a valid candidate for worst food, for a lot more reasons than the slave trade (although that’s a good one).
I remember reading an article about two dentists who studied old European paintings, and they could pinpoint the year that sugar hit the European continent, because suddenly the dental problems in painting subjects dramatically increased. It was clear that the introduction of sugar devastated the mouths of Europeans.
And of course there is sugar’s massive contribution to obesity, which is my personal dragon to slay.

You should try replacing it with onions

Counter point. Onions are vile and make eating out a constant annoyance for me because they’re in everything.

If they were rare, they would be unbelievably expensive. We’re so lucky they are cheap.
