I've often wondered if chewing food and spitting it out would be as satisfying. Like the joy of a doughnut is entirely in the flavor of it and the only feeling in your belly they give is shame commingled with regret.

It's not as satisfying. Part of the pleasure of eating comes from mastication and flavor, and the other part comes from SWALLOWING. This is neurochem.

I think you could make an exception for anything deep fried with lard (typical american diet). That stuff usually makes me feel like shit, but it tastes pretty good.

i honestly do not digest beef well and don't liek it so much anymore. my stomach always feels heavy later and the next day i can taste i still in my mouth liek it is running up my esophageal lining liek oil and covering my tongue. it is not at all pleasant so I do not eat much of it anymore.

today I ingested yellow ahi and shrimps along with a delightful mix of rice, quinoa, chia and flax. i also had onions, snowpeas (in the pod) carrots and small red potatoes strifried with the scavenging water bugs. for desert I a 2" Nutrageous™ peanut bar.

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.

Don't anorexics have damaged brain reward centers, too? You probably suffered brain damage from all those vegetables.
Coincidentally, a fair number of vegetables have suffered brain damage.

Today, I had a McDonald's breakfast bagel but that doesn't even count as food so I think I'm safe.

Tonight, I'll probably have a case of beer and maybe some pretzels. You're right! This vegetarian thing is pretty easy.

This is for the Vegan tards claiming heart disease

We're pretty sure cholesterol doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier. However, in the early stages of fetal development their bodies aren't able to synthesize cholesterol yet, so they get some from the mother. We're still not sure how much of a mother's dietary cholesterol compared to synthesized cholesterol is involved as there aren't a lot of studies on this process yet, so it's not well understood (yet).

I look at "movements" like these and the Anti-vaxers and see the same outcome. They'll kill themselves off in a few generations, or they'll accelerate society's progression to that displayed in Idiocracy. It's really a moot point because until we start colonizing other planets our species is doomed to extinction.

The only part of this that annoys me is how it's once again people attempting to force their views/opinions on others. But, I guess inflammatory threads are what this Forum is for. It does make for interesting reading sometimes.

that's the reason that you don't eat meat though ^^

[Pokesan]

All this seemed very reasonable. But I had formerly been a great lover of fish, and when this came hot out of the frying-pan, it smelt admirably well. I balanced some time between principle and inclination, till I recollected that, when the fish were opened, I saw smaller fish taken out of their stomachs. Then thought I, "If you eat one another, I don't see why we mayn't eat you." So I dined upon cod very heartily, and continued to eat with other people, returning only now and then occasionally to a vegetable diet."
