Junk Food

[jjmcray]

Bear with me here... this might sound gross... but it's just a random thought.

We eat junk food because we just love the taste of it right?

So why can't we just chew on the junk food, taste it, let it sit there, and then spit it out? Our throats and stomachs don't have taste buds.

What's to stop us from just tasting the junk food and spitting it out, and then actually eating healthy food?

Because, well, it sounds gross. And it looks just as appalling, after whatever it is has become a pile of saliva and mush.

I don't know why we instinctively dislike that sight (and many other generally accepted 'gross things'), though. Perhaps someone could enlighten me on that.

Because that would have been gross..Especially if your doing that infront of your friends.....Instead of spitting the junk food after tasting, just don't eat junk foods that could be arranged instead of wasting money just by tasting the flavor. :groupwave:

But what if it was just like candy? Spitting out candy isn't really that gross....

Candy, for the most part, retains its original shape. Even the softer ones, well, they're not as broken down as perhaps a cookie would be after being chewed on for a while in the mouth.

well. i think it would be sorta gross to spit out your food in front of someone. but i wouldnt really care if anyone did. i dont get grossed out about most things.

also i think that you need food and that the flavor of junk food gets to you and you don't just want to taste it, you want to eat it and swallow the food. idk, thats my thoughts. :)

Really its just that swallowing it is the logical thing to do and ppl gt grossed out when they see things all chewed up and spat out beacuse it reminds them of sick and they get nauseousS

[JackOfClubs]

I have nowhere to spit it out. And its gross. And I'd rather gain a couple of ounces than go around picking up all my chewed up food.

I don't know. You kinda get more taste when you swallow it ( If anybody says "Thats what she says" ... )
