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.
I think this might be something you can reprogram. It wasn’t my intention, but I’ve been hitting the weekly market a lot more and as a result my tastes have veered naturally to fresh and vegan stuff.
I’ll still accept food with animal products on em if that’s all there is, but I recently discovered that I find meat and cheese kind of… gross? I used to eat like that every week, but now I look forward to my daily apple and like 3 o’clock chia seed pudding. It’s fucked.
I don’t know if I somehow caused this or if it’s just age, but I have been feeling pretty good.
E: sorry I just reread my comment in the context of yours and I apologise for being shitty. I think the point I was trying to make was that it’s like quitting smoking or something - at first feels like something real is missing, then later feels like a no brainer
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.
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”

A banana is the perfect shape for dipping. Just combine the two you don’t have to limit yourself

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