How come some people like certain things and some don’t. Even if they grow up in a same situation, like siblings you would expect them to like the same things but that’s not exactly the case. If you ask me… if you follow the rules of all the other senses your brain should like the taste of good foods and dislike food that is bad for you. Your sense of touch tells you not to like the feeling of your had getting burned on the burner, your sense of hearing tells you to run when you hear something that sounds dangerous… so why doesn’t the sense of taste protect you from all these chemicals we are eating with our foods and make them taste terrible?? They most certainly aren’t good for you, yet they are sooo delicious! It seems to be the one sense that works against the body.

So exactly what is taste? The brain is an amazing thing. When you taste it’s pretty hard to actually think about the feeling / signals your brain is receiving. You know its there, but how? It’s just something on your tongue that tells your brain it tastes like this. But actually sit there and think about where is this stored? Because if you’re thinking about it, it’s in your brain but the food is in your mouth. When I stop to think about it I just get this blank feeling… where exactly is this feeling of deliciousness? Is it in your mouth or in your head? And what determines if you like it or not?
