    me: “this apple sure is crisp and tasty!”

    also me: “but not as tasty as a big greasy junkburger loaded with cheese and bacon and fuck it, a fried runny egg on top”

      Human brains suck. I love bananas, but my brain just goes “mmm but nacho cheese is more delicious” and is a constant fucking battle. Which I fail too often.

        interestingly and nerdily, it’s actually the “human” brain that allows us to differentiate between “healthy” and “not healthy”-- the evolutionarily more ancient mammalian and reptile parts of our brains are what crave all the sugar, fat, and salt that we eat way too much of

          I think, the fact that people have fruit at home, bananas even, and don’t eat them. Is a sign that mammalian brain is working. A banana is basically sugar, and your body’s like… I’m good on sugar thanks.

      Don’t blame the delicious meat patty, wholesome cheese slice, immaculate bacon, and impeachable runny egg for the damage the bun and fries do!
