Ashley,
Generally speaking, in a perfect world, the body supposedly only craves f=
oods
which contain =
nutrients it's in need of. Of course, in a world full of processed foods,=
our
bodies are tricked =
into all sorts of foolishness. We also have built in defense mechanisms t=
hat
you may not be =
aware of. Ever noticed how difficult it is to get small children to eat m=
ore
than a few basic =
foods? Believe it or not, that is a built in evolutionary response to mak=
e
sure they don't eat =
anything dangerous until they are familiar enough with their environment =
to
know which foods =
are good to eat and which are not. Keep in mind that human beings have th=
e
longest =
"childhood" of any other species on earth.
Unfortunately, I can't remember where I read this, but I believe it was i=
n a
Desmond Morris book =
called The Naked Ape. Even if I read it somewhere else, The Naked Ape and=
another book of his, =
The Human Zoo, are must reads for anyone interested in what it really mea=
ns to
be human.
Mike
