I would not say that it was telepathy. I would say more like its in the stars. Astrology has a lot to do with moods and how you feel on certain days.. so it could be the way the planets were aligned that made you in the mood for a certain food and it did the same for someone else. Of course I would only think about that if it has happened too many times to consider a consequence. But Telepathy would be more reading someones mind or moving objects with your mind.

Telepathy, from the Greek Ïá¿Î»Îµ, tele, "remote"; and Ïάθεια, patheia, "to be effected by", describes the hypothetical transfer of information on thoughts or feelings between individuals by means other than the five classical senses.[2][1] The term was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar Fredric W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research,[1] and has superseded earlier expressions such as thought-transference.[2][1] Telepathy and telekinesis are the main branches of Psi research.
A person who is able to make use of telepathy is said to be able to read the minds of others.
Within the field of Parapsychology, telepathy is considered to be a form of extra-sensory perception (ESP) or anomalous cognition in which information is transfered through Psi. It is often categorized similarly to precognition and clairvoyance.[3] Various experiments have been used to test for telepathic abilities. Among the most well know are the use of Zener cards and the Ganzfeld experiment.
Zener cards
Zener cards
Zener cards are cards marked with five distinctive symbols. When using them, one individual is designated the "sender" and another the "receiver". The sender must select a random card and visualize the symbol on it, while the receiver must attempt to determine that symbol using Psi. Statistically, the receiver has a 20% chance of randomly guessing the correct symbol, so in order to demonstrate telepathy, they must score a success rate that is notably higher than 20% and on numerous occasions.[4] If not conducted properly, the experimental results can be distorted by sensory leakage and card counting.[4]
When using the Ganzfeld experiment to test for telepathy, one individual is designated the receiver and is placed inside a controlled environment where they are deprives of sensory input, and another is designated the sender and is placed in a separate location. The receiver is then required to receive information from the sender. The exact nature of the information may vary between experiments.[5]
[edit] Types of telepathy
Parapsychology describes several different forms of telepathy, including latent telepathy and precognitive telepathy.[2]
Latent Telepathy, formerly known as "deferred telepathy", [6] is described as being the transfer of information, through Psi, with an observable time-lag between transmission and receipt.[2]
Precognitive Telepathy is described as being as being the transfer of information, through Psi, about the future state of an individual's mind.[2]

It can't - all that stuff from telepathy to psychics to bent-spoons to telekinesis has been debunked with the Scientific Method.
Google: < Randi > for one skeptic / debunker.

On Planet Heaven, you really don't have to Talk, just get close to another and Thoughts can Transfer.
Now, Adam and Eve could do that BEFOR everything went to hell.

It's just a coincidence. There's nothing supernatural about it.
