The brain is hard wired to do this. When you eat something and receive calories, your brain changes your taste perception to make it taste better. Remember the first time you tasted beer? If you ate paper every day, and then injected glucose into your vein right afterward, then you would slowly learn to like the taste of paper. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
