T2 Diabetic that keeps a fairly strict keto diet here. Food is terrible these days. It's hard to get stuff that isn't loaded down with sweeteners, never mind salts and fats. All to make food taste better and to get you to eat it more. The insidious part about this food though, you can't directly taste the part that makes it addicting. If you stay away from it for long enough you can feel it. You'll eat something seemingly mundane, and suddenly you'll notice, not only does this food taste really good, it tastes absolutely wonderful in every way. If you pay close attention you can feel some deep parts of your monkey brain light up informing you that you best eat as much of this splendid food as possible. Weirdly the food itself doesn't actually taste that good, but some of those deep sections of your poor old monkey brain believes it does. I hear you, well just eat fresh food, plenty of veggies and fruit. That is the where food science has gotten down right diabolical. Over the past bunch of generations we have modified our own produce, apples are sweeter and tastier, so are pears and watermelon, and things like corn, carrots, tomatoes, onions even potatoes and lettuce. There is no escape from the things that tells your stupid monkey brain, hey eat this you fool! --- Before you dog pile on me, I'm diabetic thanks to the genetic lottery, not for a lifetime of bad eating habits. But thank you for your concern. |
