Eating One Thing at a Time

The “mixture on your plate” was weak grip strength, lead paint, and atheism

My generation didn’t have crises over eating food. Sending you in first melon

Your generation also can't figure out how to send a text message.

unless it's something meant to be mixed (ex: something like beans or curry to mix into rice) i tend to just eat things individually. any potato or cheese thing is high priority because those are only tasty when hot/warm, so i tend to single those out and consume them first. cold/room temp cheese that hasn't been melted is a crime against humanity

my brain does that with a lotta stuff, unless it is traumatized, then it becomes super difficult to make amends with the offending agent. google couldn't find anything on this for me though. it just said that psychopaths like bitter more and agreeable people like sweets more and sugar triggers dopamine (surprise!). I've lieked spicy stuff since I was little though. anyway, thanks!

Huh, disappointed in Google. Here's more on "hedonic reversal" (as apparently it is called):

Clearly you have to be exposed to it a lot of times. But normally you would never be exposed [to hot chilies] more than once. And the reason you're exposed to it a lot is because that's what the family's serving, so you just eat it. The experience of eating it a lot somehow converts what was an aversion to a preference.

What's going to the brain is the same; there's no change in the tongue or the mouth, so it's what we call a "hedonic reversal."

It's not just in food, but coffee is bitter, and there's a lot of foods that we eat that little kids don't like — beer, etc. But we also like amusement park rides, we like to be scared, we like to cry at movies. This is an example of a very common thing in humans.

I call it "benign masochism," which is to say that we learn to like things that our body rejects. And it's benign because it doesn't hurt us.

There was the question of a black thread in his face being slightly misplaced. It was fine and it’s totally adorable, tyvm. I grew up watching Pokémon when it came out. We were 13yo weeb wannabes with a desperate need for anime at the time. Other regrettable things included listening to and enjoying korn. Still think Picachu is cute af.
