Do you think we would be healthier if food had no taste?

Question

My son asked me this last night.

Answer 1

it's also about texture

i'm a sucker for anything creamy or crunchy

Answer 2

Probably so, I was eating a bbq sanwich tonight that had no flavor..i was only eating it because i paid a pretty penny for it...but then again we would probably get use to all the food having no taste and just consume it for survival..

Answer 3

I don't think so. I think that we eat because of our need for nourishment. Even if food didn't have a taste we would still eat in order to have that fulfillment.

Answer 4

Nawww....I'll still be eating ice cream.


Besides that, if everything tastes like broccoli, there'd be a lot more anorexias around, as they have a brand new excuse not to eat.

Answer 5

No. I think some of us would become lazy to eat since if there's no taste and starve.

Answer 6

good question, little kids always ask the best ones to make you think, when do we loose this curiosity??? i guess my answer would have to be yes probably, because it wouldnt be as enjoyable, it would be viewed purely as "fuel"

Answer 7

if food had no taste we'd find something else to eat.

Answer 8

food is another pleasure for me, comparative to sleep, sex and other joyful activities, i wouldnt make it tasteless, but would try different products to protect my health

Answer 9

I have thought about this before. I say without a doubt....yes.

Answer 10

resturant would be out of business
