Everyone thinks this is a disgusting act. But why? I legitimately don't understand why it is socially unacceptable to pick your nose and eat your boogers.

''It's gross'' yes, blah blah. BUT WHY? A Kleenex only creates more waste and a demand for more trees to be chopped down. Not to mention, eating your snot has been proven to boost your immune system. Are people just so uptight over the most trivial bs, or what
 
A lot of people like to claim that they don't eat snot. But if they pick or rub their nose and then put their hand in/on their mouth, they are probably getting some of it.

As for whether I do or not... well no, not intentionally.

Okay but rly.. I dunno. Boogers are slimey, sometimes crusty.. sometimes gooey and a big white blob.. it's probably the appearance and texture that puts people off, but really.. all it is is mucus mixing with debris that you breathe in, so supposedly if you eat it, you're eating shit that's in the air, possible bacteria that gets trapped in your boogers.. and therefor helps boost your immune system by helping you combat new bacteria introduced into your body.

Better? :mokken:

Sorry, the title to this thread isn't actually the thread itself. Maybe my OP was a tl;dr. Sorry, princess. Let me sum it up for you:
''It's gross'' yes, blah blah. BUT WHY?

Better than that shit post you wrote before, yeah.

So you're saying it's just the appearance? Maybe it is nasty as fuck, but that shouldn't excuse people's screaming, crying, and wetting themselves over it. If you ask me, being that grossed out by boogers is more immature than eating them. You might as well lol at the fact that everyone takes a crap and farts.
 
Oh no! 2 of my Fave FFF chicks going at it!?

*pulls up deck chair and opens up chips*

Nipper its generally looked down upon because its the act of lower primates along the lines of eating and throwing fecal matter..............as in shit!

Its not a good thing.

I don't decide these things, I just go with whatever the flow seems to be.

Humans have evolved through society to the point where they find snot disgusting. So society would probably give it the label of gross, because I'm afraid it's a pretty uncommon subject. That would be my explanation of "why" it's considered gross.
 
I lol at people who fart, it doesn't gross me out.

I think it is more appearance than anything, because snot doesn't have a smell. It's sticky sometimes which can also be gross.. but maybe it boils down to the whole.. 'pulling something out of a hole/body orifice.' Peeing, crapping, farting, burping are all gross.. and all come out of you. Ergo, picking boogers out of your nose must all be gross.. somehow.
 
It's gross, because...

Like Channy said, your nose hair and the slime catches all the bacteria that's floating about, so you won't get sick as soon as you would without it, so your nose goes through all this trouble to keep it out, and then the bored human being picks it's nose, and gobbles it up.

It's not only gross to eat whatever was in the air at that time, that has been clinging togeher in your nose for a few days, but it's inconsiderate to all the hard work your nose has done to keep it OUT of your body, as well. :mokken:
 
Okay, so basically all of you helped me realized that I just answered my own question: people are uptight over the most trivial bs

Most people won't eat their snot because it's apparently gross, but they'll drink until their kidneys are mush and smoke dope until their lungs are fucked to shit.
 
I do none of the above. :elmo: I must be a good person. /:wacky:

What you did was ask people why, and why questions will always be answered differently, because everyone most likely, has a different reason. So... Yeah.

That's not why it's generally considered gross. Not everybody knows this fact. You can go up to a little kid and ask them if they pick their nose and eat it and they'll most likely look all grossed out and shout EW at your face. Even without knowing why.
 
Yeah thats right because in spite of all the garbage they put out about smoking and drinking the human body is very durable over a along period of time, but picking your nose is beneath evolved humans.

Plus if you get the reputation of being a nose picker its kinda sticks where as alot people smoke and drink and its there for more acceptable to do those things rather than picking your nose

If you want to start a movement towards it being acceptable then start at the Zoo.

xD Just because... pretty much. It's hard to pinpoint the very reason for it's grossness.. It's something you're taught as a kid "Don't pick your nose." So most things you're not supposed to do (for some reason or another) has to be bad, or bad for you.. or, gross.

I think it may also have something to do with sneezes. When you sneeze a lot of snot goes out.. but it's trapped in a kleenex, it's sticky and you're sick.. so it looks wrong. Even if you WERE a gold-digger, you wouldn't just stick your tongue in your kleenex and lick it.

So for most people it may be associated to that.. and therefor just don't even touch their boogers because they must all look like they do when you sneeze.

Holy fuck, yet another speshul post made by fucken GalaxyFail. I asked why it's socially unacceptable. It isn't because it just isn't, like your shallow mind feels, there is a reason. Possibly several. Bye
 
Are we talking soggy boogers or the kind that are stale and old?

You little shit be nice, how socially inept must you be to not know why eating boogers and snot is not right? If you want to know why its not right then listen to the people who take the time to read your crap!
