Scientifically/biologically, why do we often crave something sweet after we’ve eaten salty things? It is just a learned response?
In: Biology
These are all wrong. Sugar is incredibly calorie dense. One of the most dense food there is. Fat is another. That’s why we love fat and sugar. It’s beneficial to us, if you think of us as beings who are intended to survive. Not thrive. Just survive. We seek the most beneficial food in the short term. That’s instinct.
It takes learning and training to get your body to crave “healthy things” because they don’t provide us with a direct tangible benefit like sugar and fat do.
