And food itself is an art form. The texture, the taste, the smell, the visual, etc. There is so much that needs to be put into it to achieve a high satisfaction level in terms of addressing all the senses.
I don't mind that people are eating "sushi" in the same way that I don't mind that they go to Applebees or Olive Garden. If they are happy with mediocrity in their food, then it works for them. I just find that the proliferation of sushi joints over the past 10-15 years has diluted the quality and dedication to the art which made it popular in the first place.

You pretty much just destroyed sushi haters like myself. Hard to argue with that. However, I reserve the right to stubbornly adhere to my assholish, jaded way of thinking towards sushi even though I'm ridiculous for doing so.
