The Evolution of Food: From Pleasure to Obsession
Food was once a simple means of fulfilling our basic needs, but as society has evolved, our relationship with food has become more complicated. Ancient cultures did not prioritize pleasure in food, but rather viewed it as a means of survival. In today's hyper-palatable food environment, our wanting and liking systems have become disconnected. Advertisements, branding, and packaging play a significant role in influencing our perception of food. Restriction can also lead to binging behaviors, as our brains fixate on what we can't have. Mindful eating and paying attention to how food truly tastes can help realign our wanting and liking systems. It is important to shift our focus from diets and restrictions to enjoying food in a healthier way.
