What is good for one person may be bad for another; what is pleasant to one person may be unpleasant to another
This idiom means that one person can like something very much, but another can hate it.
One man's meat is another man's poison.
something that you say which means that something one person likes very much can be something that another person does not like at all.
Example: I wouldn't want to do her job, but she seems to love it. Oh well, one man's meat is another man's poison.

I agree with the others, that what one man likes may kill another one. Like, one man may enjoy spicy food, but it might hurt someone else who has an ulcer.
Here's a wordplay joke on that. In French, poisson means fish. So, I like to say, "One man's fish is another man's poisson!"

Something that could be really good for one person could be really bad for another person. It is expressing the idea that we all have individual needs and preferences.
