Who's a Foodie, What's a Foodie

I'm not really sure I like the term "foodie".  Because let's be honest, liking food isn't exactly a unique characteristic.

 

Besides one borderline crazy person I once knew that was "allergic to food", everybody likes food.  You aren't a "foodie" because you like food.  You are a human who eats food to survive. 

 

But if I am a "foodie" because I love food, I guess I am also a "airie", a "waterie", a "shelterie", etc.  Because I really like all those things too. 

 

I prefer to be a little more direct when describing my love of food.  I'm not a "foodie", I'm "obsessed with food".  Big difference, little word.
