Choosing Our Foods (WAS: Chocolate, wine, coffee)

[Guest guest]

Yes, exactly. And in my original post, I wrote " as it comes from the plant " .

That means, try eating the coffee or cacao beans STRAIGHT. Unroasted,

unprocessed in any way.

 

And I agree completely about the tastes ... modern foods are designed in

food chemistry labs with the precise intent of creating flavors that

overwhelm (overstimulate) our taste buds, thereby becoming habit-forming (at

the very least). This is why we must employ ALL our sensory awarenesses, not

just taste, in selecting our foods ... and we must apply these to the foods

in their original form, as they actually occur in Nature.

But did you love the taste of straight black coffee as a child, when you

first tried it (surely)?

 

How about alcohol?

 

And I accept that you may like the tastes - but that doesn't make something

healthy, does it?
