I think this is an important tangent we've taken here.
Why is pleasure important in eating, at all? Isn't the main purpose to fuel our bodies? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy food, but pleasure is probably the fourth or fifth most important factor to me when I'm choosing what to eat. A number of people admit in this thread that they eat animals because they taste good. That is their sole justification. I guess it just strikes me as terribly childish and undisciplined, to weigh pleasure so heavily in your decision-making.

i've said these very same words many times. It gets nowhere. You're explaining the joy of sobriety to a junkie ^^
I experience a net gain in pleasure from not eating relative to eating, and find the stimulation i get from caloric deficit very motivating. ^^ music sounds so good. I've always found opiation to squoosh my creativity. BUT it takes a couple weeks of rigorously implementing my willpower regimen before existing at this sort of baseline becomes effortless and pleasurable. Withdrawal from sin is painful.
