"but now I realize that there is a large group of people out there who simply don't care about food that much."

This. I used to be a member of this group. In college and early twenties, I had friends who didn't care about food.

Now most of my friends only focus seems to be food, how to eat it properly, how much to eat, where to eat, what is healthy. It is frustrating sometimes but it is hard to find friends in mid 30s who are into playing sports, bars, pool, and video games as much as me.
