to think that it is unacceptable to make negative comments about the food people are eating in front of them?

[Mintyy]

I'm not talking about people eating truly disgusting food like McDonalds but if you are in a restaurant, say, and you choose the fish and someone else at the table doesn't like fish and therefore they have to say things like "ewwww, I hate fish, how can you eat that?"

Its rude and ill-mannered.

Yes?

The children I look after are under strict instruction not to use the word disgusting as I personally think it is rude. No problem if they don't like something, just don't go on about it!
