To determine if something is moral or not I usually ask, does this aid
or hinder thinking? (Since people live by thinking). Having you eat
Rhubarb does not prevent me from thinking . Hence although you are doing
something I don't like it's not immoral. If there was another Prof. Tim
out there just like you then acting against his own better judgment by
deciding he must only have things he does not like and refusing to eat
Rhubarb because he considered it good then that would be immoral,
because he would be acting against his own life and mind. ( This is
assuming , of course, that for Prof. Tim eating Rhubarb is, in fact,
good , and that he is able to figure that out )
