What Gross Food Habit You Probably Have, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at PITT chapter.

Everyone has some pretty gross and disturbing food habits. Don’t tell yourself that you don’t. That would be a lie. Ever wonder which weird food habit you’re most likely to display? Check it out below.

Aries (March 21 – April 19): The Loud Chewer

Aries are generally pretty into themselves. They love exciting and vibrant things. They’re also super confident and loooove to talk. All in all, they’ve got loud personalities, so obviously, they’d be be the ones at the table chomping so loudly that you can literally hear the food being crushed by their teeth and slopped around their mouth.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): DGAF About the Expiration Date

Taurus are known for their strong sense of perseverance, stubbornness, and determination. It’s clear that they wouldn’t really care about the expiration date of their food. They’d just be super determined to finish it — no matter what.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Weird Food Combinations

Gemini are known to be “many-sided”. They’re noisy, loud, and they often go off-topic. They easily get bored and getting stuck in a routine is not good for them. They need change, need to mix it up and see all the different “sides” of foods. Gemini are also extremely indecisive, so when deciding between Cheez-Its and Nutella, they’ll probably just opt for both.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): “It was on top of the trash!”

Aaaaah, Cancer. Cancer signs are known to be super mysterious. They are filled with complexities, but generally only show what’s on the surface, much like an overly full and brimming trash can with a perfectly good piece of food sitting on top. Cancers won’t hesitate to take a bite of that perfectly positioned snack.

Leo (July 23 – August 22): Talking With Their Mouth Full

Leos are known to be full of energy. They deeply care about their reputation and absolutely love being the center of attention. It’s no wonder that they’d keep talking, even while shoveling their meal into their mouths. They want all ears at all times.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Lickin’ the Plate

If you’re a Virgo, you scrutinize everything and are constantly thinking. Virgos are super analytical, which makes them tend towards being picky. This means that when they do find something they like, they’ll make sure they can get every scrap of food into their body that they can (for analytical purposes, of course).

Libra (September 23 – October 22): Eating Everyone Else’s Food

Libras are all about balance. They love bringing people together and solving problems. They’re so good at this that they are extremely prone to putting themselves in someone else’s shoes to look at a situation from another point of view.

Of course, these situations can extend into the realm of eating. Whether it’s the delicious looking plate of food that was just set down in front of you or scraps of your last meal on its way to the trash, you can bet a Libra will be there to try a bite.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): Ignores Silverware Etiquette

Scorpios are extremely intense. They are deep and passionate and they enjoy trying to figure things out. On top of that, Scorpios love to have power and control. So why rely on silverware when you could use your bare hands, have utter power over your meal without those stupid pieces of steel, and enjoy the complete intensity that is eating (sort of) like a barbarian?

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): The “5” Second Rule

Everyone is a fan of the five-second rule, but a Sagittarius will often take it a lot further. And why shouldn’t they? Sagittarius are known to be extremely fortunate — little risk of illness there. In addition, they’re very curious and have a tendency to be a bit reckless. It makes sense that it’s more like a “who cares how many seconds the floor looks clean enough and that food is delicious” rule for them.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): Eating On the Toilet

Capricorns need their security and are sometimes seen as loners. They are known to be self-contained and oftentimes feel the need to conceal themselves from the world. Given all of this information, it only makes sense that they would be the most likely to chow down while on the porcelain throne, the only place of absolute and true privacy.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Eats the Questionable Food

Is that stain on your shirt chocolate or something else? You can bet your bottom dollar that an Aquarius won’t think twice about taking a lick to find out. This sign loves to surprise people by interrupting the status quo and doing something totally out of norm. Since they’re known to enjoy intellectual stimulation and doing their own thing, an Aquarius is inclined to be that friend who will try anything.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Destroys Food to Get to What They Like

Pisces is the person who licks all the frosting off the cake but doesn’t eat the actual cake. They’re most likely to ask for a doughnut and only eat the filling, or get a pizza and pick off all the cheese. Pisces are inclined to do this because they are know to be quite sensitive. They hate conflict and will avoid it at all costs. Instead of asking to change their order, they just opt to pick around and suffer in silence.
