you have an interesting observation that has a good point but the premise is just so wrong.
most people in the world have very undiscerning palettes and many of those people absolutely would not be interested in trying new foods.
foodie is not a negative term, so nobody is bothered by it. and colloquially foodies are a distinctive group of people that have gravitated towards a set of foods outside of what's common their original culture/region.
if you live in a world where that's the default, congratulations. since thats not the default, you're the weird one.
