Prejudice: a preconcieved opinion.
So your preference for shreddies would only be a prejudice if you had
never tasted cornflakes.
The hatred part is probably a memetic defense. The meme realises it
cannot withstand critical examination because it is built on sand so
it provokes anger/hatred, emotive responses which preclude (to an
extent) rational thought.
Towards the conversion of confusion into the act of reaching for the
dictionary. ;)
