LOL. eavesdropper – Thanks for that very lengthy explanation. If there isn’t a connection between food and chemical reaction in one’s body, then I am at a loss to explain his happiness. But as I was reading your first post, I was thinking maybe the chocolate had something to do w/it. Then you posted the second post about chocolate.
There must be something that happens from the time your taste buds get the flavor of certain foods that triggers something in the brain. Your explanation was detailed, yet I still think there’s more to it other than people just willfully and knowingly eating badly or lacking will-power.
Certain foods seem much more satisfying than others that are lacking nutrients. Probably more nutrients in an apple than chocolate cake.
