Listen up, slowpoke. This joke works because of a pun on the phrase "bad taste." Jokes about bulimia are considered socially inappropriate or offensive (bad taste), but bulimia itself involves throwing up, which means the food is literally coming back up and tasting bad (bad taste). See? You probably thought bulimia was a type of pasta, you absolute walnut.
