food is inherently full of confirmation bias to the one with the hunger

witness the reaction to finding a hair in it. and how much worse it is if the hair is only discovered halfway down your throat and you pull it out.

meal now unappetiziing? but it could be Kobe beef ... it doesn't matter. the mind is trying to save you from potential toxins, poisonous spoiled foods. There is only one way to make an animal that's starving suddenly not eat the meal in front of him. so the levers in the head are very heavy-handed.

tldr, this tech has a lot working against it.

Even if it tastes and looks perfect, I doubt I could get it down. So I'm a picky eater? My mom spent a good 15-16 years trying to overcome that. If she can't, no one can.
