    Uh, that pop-up is “unpleasant feelings”. Pain, discomfort, bad taste/smell, etc. If you went outside and started eating dirt, your brain would pop-up with “Hey, this tastes yucky, you should stop”

      The really dangerous thing is when something feels rewarding in the short term, but wrecks your life in the long term.

        Why can’t broccoli feel more rewarding

                So the sense of speed is the fun part?

                I kinda tricked myself into liking running by making a game of how long I could put up with the discomfort and feeling out of breath. Now I no longer feel out of breath, and it sometimes feels actually… good?? I don’t know if I just became inured to the sensation, or if I’m just fitter.

                Love it

                Biking can be like a two calorie burn or do it fast (or up hills) and suddenly it’s somethin’ serious. But still pleasant, possibly beautiful…

            Is it a trick if it’s really amazing?

            Our sauteed with onions really good too. People who don’t like greens probably only know them boiled in water which washes the taste away.

            For any non-yanks reading: 400 degrees Fahrenheit is about 200 degrees Celsius, and this method is roasting, not baking.

          Are you kidding? I can always want to eat more broccoli than is advisable. I have to like hold myself back.

          For real though, you can “acquire” these tastes.

        Damn. Something I think we all know deep down but never put into words. This is a statement everyone should be reminded of daily.
