Why do we have to actually ingest food to enjoy it?

444 views

The other day I was eating some junk food and wishing there was a way I could just enjoy the taste of the food instead of it actually going into my body.

But if you were to just chew it then spit it out, it would be extremely unsatisfying and probably worse then just not putting it in your mouth at all.

Because your body evolved after 3.7 thousand millions of years of life on Earth so that you’ll actually enjoy it and you’ll want to do it. If that wasn’t the case you wouldn’t have such a drive to eat so you’d be be dead. Similar thing why sex is so pleasurable. Your body wants you to do things which are good for the survival and spread of your genes.
