Prompt #7

Eating is a necessity. Everyone needs to do it to survive. However, people do want to enjoy their meals. Foods that satisfy your taste buds are highly favored. Also, a lot of people choose to eat foods that help their bodies as well. When you can find a combination of the two delicacies you have accomplished a great feat.

I do not know how eating has evolved into choosing the foods that you will enjoy the most, because of taste and health. However, this is the case. Yes, I am guilty of performing the same stunt. But, is this because we are programmed this way from birth? If you have the chance to make the very difficult decision between a large, fattening, bad tasting hamburger, or a large, delicious salad with your favorite toppings on it? Well, most people will pick the salad rather than the hamburger, unless they just do not care much for salads. But if you had the chance to choose between a red, delicious apple and a nice, juicy orange, which will you pick? In this case it is entirely up to preference. But, the next time you are trying to decide what you want for dinner, and you pick the chicken sandwich, ask yourself, "Why?"
