I hope the Seahawks win and all... but there has to be a better way to show our support for the team than by eating sugar cookies that are dyed the color of gangrenous, rotting flesh. That looks like a bunch of flayed zombie kneecaps.

And then there's this:

Why is blue an unappetizing color?

Blue food is a rare occurrence in nature. There are no leafy blue vegetables (blue lettuce?), no blue meats (blueburger, well-done please), and aside from blueberries and a few blue-purple potatoes from remote spots on the globe, blue just doesn't exist in any significant quantity as a natural food color. Consequently, we don't have an automatic appetite response to blue. Furthermore, our primal nature avoids food that are poisonous. A million years ago, when our earliest ancestors were foraging for food, blue, purple and black were "color warning signs" of potentially lethal food.
