Why would it be insulting? I've been told I'm missing out because I don't eat mushrooms, but they are only saying that because they are somehow able to stomach the unfathomably bad flavour and smell combined with the rubbery texture, and don't understand how differently I experience it.

The only reason there is to be upset about that would be because a part of you agrees that you are missing out. It's not polite to tell someone who is dieting that they are missing out on all the treats. They know! Perhaps OP should examine why he gets so offended when people suggest that the story he chose to skip isn't boring.
