Animals never have to wonder what the next meal will be. A large part of their existence lies in the ability to find their food. Humans knew this instinct a long time ago. Then, hunting and protein intake made his brain grow to the point of developing tools to feed himself. Today, supermarkets are overflowing with choices like never before.
As children, we usually have the satiety reflex capable of informing us when we have enough. However, as we grow up, this one fades away in favor of emotions. We shun foods that bring back bad memories and seek out those with the most positive connotations.
