Disliking a food or two doesn't detract from a person's very necessary social interaction.
If a person disliked the flavor of all foods except one or two, would that be a disease?
Given the serious negative impact this difference can have on a person's life, yes, it should be considered a disease.
IMO, the best analogy is closer to psoriasis. It's believed to be at least partly genetic, a lot of people have it, but only a few are totally debilitated. Since for the majority of sufferers, it only amounts to a little extra lotion in the morning, should it be considered a disease or a difference? I'm sure the people with mild cases would like even that to be gone.
