Pretty much as the title says, why do we, as humans, get tired or burnt out of eating the same type of meals over and over? As composed to other animals…
Is there a biological/evolutionary reason as to why we are not ‘truly’ content with eating the same types of food 24/7?
Really been pondering about this.
In: Biology
My understanding is that humans are evolutionally programmed to seek out different foods in case the current thing runs out. Conversely, we also have the ingrained concept that we should only eat the same food, because other things might be poisonous. This is thought to be one of the reasons small children are so fussy over foods. Depending on how your adult brain feels, it might be swaying to one side or the other.
