Actually, I think our taste buds get so pulverized by sugars, fats and chemicals that we only think it tastes good. Have you ever had the experience of being hooked on something you think is absolutely delicious and then you stop eating it for a while and when you taste it again, it doesn't taste as good as you remember it? I have had that happen to me several times.

I've been thinking the same. That's life, I guess. You have to LEARN to like it....that sucks.

becuase overeating is a sin, so the make the yummy stuff make you fat.

iDk...I also wonder why being a good girl is so boring and being a bad chica looks more fun....i guess it has a better outcome...no?

sucks dont it ?
i ask myself the same question all the time :(

ditto, I think me and another 400 million people agree with you right now.

All the "good flavor" is all artificial additives that are tested with and have chemicals in them. They also add fat and calories and stuff. I hate that too and the good flavor just tastes tooooooo good to resist sometimes. It's a releeeee good question only the earth could answer :]

and why do people pretend healthy food can taste good???
i mean i try to eat healthy, but im not going to lie to myself. i know what veggies taste like compared to a cheeseburger

they should just admit that there is nothing better than a nice warm batch of fattening brownies, or a spoonful uncooked cookie dough :) mmm

No food is bad for you if you eat it in the proper quantity and don't over indulge.
Portion size is what matters.If you control that,you can eat anything you like.

Unfortunately our bodies dont help us here .
Fat is a flavor vehicle and the tongue likes salt and sugar seeing as they are 2 of the main tastebud receptors.
Not all healthfood tastes bad do some research have a look around.

I AGREE!!....only if it was the opposite!!

I hear you girl! My boss is always trying to feed me apples or some other healthy snack. I've tried to go for soy milk (turned out to be highly allergic), any kind of wheat bread (allergic), oranges and tomatoes (allergic) and many more....so I go back to eating the stuff that is bad for me, but tastes good. Doesn't help my cholesterol any though.
