Hunger

What drives hunger? Why can't we be content with a single meal? Is it because the meal is tasteless and bland? Is it lacking sugar and spice and everything nice? Maybe the food is tough and dry? Is it plain without tang, or too smokey, peppery hot? Having been trained in food science, I know something about the attributes of foods. There is such a large variety, but our diet is fueled by foods consisting of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. What has food attributes to do with it? Well, you may have, also, heared that carbs, fats, and proteins break down in the human body and trigger chemical reactions. Sodium and potassium are two major substance needed by the body to function. These two chemicals as well as many more can be found in the foods we consume. It is therefore important to have a sense for taste. Try a balanced meal to appease your palate. How is this for a rousing start:

Sweet and Sour Tofu (use chicken or fish if preferred)
Ginger Spicy Brown Rice
Sauteed Red Onions, Celery, and Corn
Lemony Blueberry Aide Drink
