I can't understand how so many people eat greasy, fried fast food so often.
I feel so bad after eating cheap fast food. I can barely finish it, especially if I'm in the car. On the youth trip in July we were on a big bus and we stopped to get breakfast. The leaders came back with a bunch of mcdonald's sausage biscuits. Just biscuit and sausage. Just by looking at it, I knew I would get sick if I ate the whole thing. I took a tiny bite of the bread. Immediately I felt bad. I tried once more, this time with some sausage, but that made it even worse. I could feel the grease coating all over it. Eck. I was very close to getting sick for the next 30 mins to an hour. It got so bad I had a bag with me just in case. Luckily nothing happened. After that I realize greasy stuff goes not agree with my stomach. At all.
But yesterday I got some chicken tenders from Jack's thinking maybe it'll be different this time, but I could barely eat one strip before feeling bad. I ate all the fries though, they're not especially greasy. But the breading is just, bleghhh
I'll gobble up something like stir fry with rice, or just rice, (I love rice), but I have to eat fast food slowly or my stomach gets mad at me haha
Same thing goes for soda. Barely drink it. After drinking a 1/4 of the can I'm already feeling this weird full feeling that isn't pleasant. I'm not actually full, but the soda makes my stomach feel that way. Not fun. Plus I'm just not really into soda in general. The only one I like is cream soda, but I savor the flavor and don't drink it all at once. Just a few sips here and there. I mostly drink water.
I not a super health obsessed person though. I eat my fair share of junk food and sweets. But grease is just the worst. I'm sensitive to it I guess. But yeah, I can't understand how people can eat multiple greasy foods a day or more than one soda a day. It doesn't help that the South basically fries everything in sight lol
Well, Echolight, I can definitely tell you that I've been asked the question of how I can drink and enjoy neat whisky.
And a lot of the times, it comes from people that in general tend to be more sensitive to the smell, taste, and effects of ethanol, which I argue is actually a blessing.
But over time, you develop a certain tolerance for things so your body can look past it and onto the other flavors of that food or drink.
In other words, taste is actually quite complex and based on a multitude of factors including sex, age, culture, genetics, and so on. I actually tried touching on that on my blog on how to develop a taste for beer, but I feel I didn't do that subject justice.
Simply put, people are sensitive to different things. For example, I
love cilantro, and my wife
hates cilantro. I think it adds a refreshing taste to tacos, and my wife thinks it makes the tacos taste like soap.
People are strange, I guess.
