Hmmm...Personally, I don't see that as a negative, and just reading about

how someone else doesn't *enjoy the tastes of foods is almost unfathomable to

me In a Gabriel Cousins book I was just reading, he talks specifically

about enjoying/savoring the food...making a spiritual connection with the food

via appreciating the fruit...it's textures, the flavors, etc. I can see this

connection.

 

I have a small garden where I'm growing a few vegetables. I DO get a lot of

pleasure eating the things I grow. And I also LOVE going into a farmer's

market (or even a grocery store produce section) and see all the beautiful

fruits and vegetables...and Y E S !!! They *DO* T A S T E absolutely

delicious...and that gives me pleasure, making committing to a raw food diet a

much easier idea for me I'm not just plodding along eating for fuel ONLY.

 

But I do know that there are people out there who don't care for food except

to keep their bodies going. I had an old bf like that and it always amazed

me (being someone who, at that time, liked to explore different cuisines, try

new recipes, eat meals prepared by wonderful area chefs)...he couldn't have

cared less about *food* except where eating some was necessary We weren't

together long <grin> I find the taste of r a w foods to be even more once I

really pay attention to how it tastes, and how I feel after eating it.

 

I see beauty all around me and automatically love to give ANY of my 5 senses

a zing Taste is one of them, of course...I see no reason that choosing

and appreciating delicious raw food shouldn't be a part of experiencing joy

and pleasure in Life!

 

But that's just me and how I L I V E !

The problem I feel is that most people on SAD in

America value taste over everything else, to the point

where they don't care about the effect what they eat

has on the body as long as it appeals to their

tastebuds. And their tastebuds get perverted in the

long run. The great thing about raw is that it tastes

delicious and it's so good for you.
