15. Lobster
One of the most sought-after foods available in markets and restaurants are lobsters, thanks to their flavorful and succulent meat but were once, before the 20th century, deemed only worthy of being fertilizer or fish bait and were commonly served to prison inmates, much to their displeasure. Today, the prized shell-fish ranks as one of the most expensive seafood in the market, which is a good reason (sour-graping here) to avoid them, especially for those who have gout as they increase the likelihood of an attack of joint pain.
