...qualifies someone to say that? Don't we all love food? Is it just an appreciation for the skills and ingredients needed?

I thought a "foodie" was someone that took a pic of their food before they ate it. Then shared it on the interwebs where no one cares.

Some people are less adventurous. I know adults who won't eat vegetables and generally have the eating habits of a picky 5 year old. You probably aren't much of a "foodie" if you won't eat anything besides fried chicken strips, hot dogs, cheese burgers, and pizza.

Being a "foodie," although I would never self describe that term because I think it sounds lame, might mean that you go out of your way to try new things and are open to unusual ideas. I guess it's just like being a connoisseur of anything else.

I'll bet starving people in third world countries are amused as hell that food is seen as some superqueer hobby for finicky douchebags over here.

Oh boy, I've dealt with a boat load of these the past few years.

Usually means they watch several food reality shows and now think they're legit critics.

Being a Foodie isn't really a bad thing. It's just a term for people that like to cook and eat, consider dining as a major part of their travel experience and like sharing information about food and eating out. It's as non-pretentious a term as exists in the culinary world and it's nothing to be ashamed about.

This. ^^^^

I like saying someone is a foodie rather than a gourmet.
Foodie doesn't have to be a bad term, but it sure gets the panties in a wad with the quickness for some reason.

Yeah, people read more into this term than what it is. Yelpers (South Park episode helped here) and Facebook food posters gave a very generic term a bad rap.
