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

442 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 the ability to acquire **so much food** that you can waste the calories by spiting it out didn’t exist until the last fraction of a second and our bodies still think it’s the year 1 million BC

it wouldn’t make sense for an organism in nature to evolve such a behavior. food tastes good as a way to “trick” your monkey brain into continue this basic ass primordial-slug behavior known as “eating so I don’t die”
