The Science of Orification
Food manufacturers will engineer foods to have a certain reward value that we can't access elsewhere. texture of what you're eating is unbelievably, like, super normal in terms of the stimulus. So an Oreo, two crunchy bits of biscuit with something sort of soft and lubricating in the middle or French fries is exactly the same. And texture can also influence appetite. There was one experiment where they took food, like I think it was beef and potatoes and vegetables, and cut it into smaller parts to make it easier to consume. Because it was faster to consume, people naturally ate more food.
