This is very much "I am 14 and this is deep" territory.
Adjectives describe. By using them, we are emphasising a quality of a given thing. That does not make it the "default state" (a problematic concept) of that object, even if it is a desirable quality.
The "default state" of food is that it is edible, ie. that it can be eaten, as food is defined as that which is edible.
Visible. Tactile.
Even by OPs logic, "noise" is not one of the senses. Audible is the correct word here.

The punchline is the comment about how the OP is like Green philosophy.
You're picking apart the setup, not the punchline, and therefore being "that guy" who ruins the joke.
Stop it.
... All the comments. They're all missing the point that some Greek philosophy and classical rhetoric is indeed like this. This is where I'm pretty arm's length with some schools of thought; it sometimes all seems constructed on some dubious first principles, or leaps of logic.
The podcast "unexplainable" did an episode like this. It's called, "Does Garlic Break Magnets?" It's kinda fun, honestly.
It's right there in the first sentence. Even toddlers learn pretty damn fast that the "default" of all things is the furthest thing from "tasty".
Why can the replier in the screenshot poke fun at the nonsensical nature of the first post but not us in the comments?
How does that ruin the joke for you?
BECAUSE THE FIRST POST IS THE SETUP AND THE SECOND POST IS THE PUNCHLINE. THEY ARE BOTH PART OF THE JOKE. WE ARE NOT.
GOSH.
What is your problem?
Today or in general?
I'm sorry things get ruined for you so easily
There is no joke bud. It's just someone being dumb, and your defensive attitude suggests you didn't understand that when you posted.
The Internet is serious business!
Bud!
Oh no I'm not as smart as I thought I was, quick better do some S A R C A S M !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"l
It's not a joke, it is indeed true that a lot of early Greek philosopy featured that style of logic, which you would know if you'd ever paid attention in school or actually read a book.
Eg. Diogenes refuting Plato's definition of a man.

Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You really suck ar covering up your pre-pubescent insecurities!
