What is oil, why do we cook with it, and why do things taste so much better with it?
In: 4928
Oil is a molecule made by plants. We cook with it because we need fats (which includes oil, butter, meat fat, etc). They taste good bc they’re high calorie, so early humans who enjoyed the taste of fats were better fed and therefore survived long enough to reproduce (basically, they taste good bc they’re really, really good for you in a survival scenario- same for carbs)
