palatability

how would you define of palatability?

pleasant tasting?

NEGATORY

-food's capacity to stimulate the appetite & prompt us to eat more

SUGAR FAT SALT SUGAR FAT SALT SUGAR FAT SALT SUGAR FAT SALT

taste is INVOLVED, but it is the motivation to pursue the taste

CRAVINGS - appetite arousal

think about it....what do you crave?

the smell of baking cookies

the texture of cold stone creamery

sweet potato fries

just ketchup at times!!!!

chocolate/yogurt covered pretzels

usually its the anticipation of the taste

not hunger

all of these things have multiple addictive ingredients

SUGAR

SALT

Fast Food Nation

"the distinctive taste does not stem from the type of potatoes that McDonald's buys.....the taste of the fast food fry is determined by the cooking oil......for decades McDonald's cooked its fries in a mixture of about 7% cottonseed oil & 93% beef tallow."

YIKES

though i know that MANY of us stay away from these foods

i am only using them as an extreme example of not knowing what you are eating

personally i have salt on ANYTHING and my head swells up like a blowfish

for most normal people it isnt as noticeable

over time the weight just starts piling on

and all the while your insides are getting clogged by plaque

giving us high blood pressure & cholesterol

so for all you skinny people that think you can eat whatever you want?

THINK AGAIN

i actually feel that you have it worse

because you dont have to stare your problem in the face everyday

you are MORE likely to develop heart disease & be surprised by it!

listen to your body

recognize that you are responding to

the pursuit of a taste

if that is what you really want in the moment

go for it...in moderation, on occasion

work on understanding the difference in yourself

of hunger vs desire

& arousal vs necessity
