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

508 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.

Like someone else said, our brains are wired to stay on the path to calories. Calories are the goal, not the pleasure. You can’t just see food, lick, or smell it because that’s not how your ancestors survived.
