I think there is a difference between enjoying food and nomming down overprocessed crap.

I may sound as food snob, but is there a way to "enjoy" McDonalds or ramen noodles for example? And other foods that do nothing for you?

I try to eat "good" bad foods. See, Czech cousine is full off foods like roasted duck/geese with dumplings and cabbage (or pork with the same). It's caloric equivalent of Hiroshima. But at least it's "real" food.

That is how I try to distinquish food for me. Did it grow in nature? Was it born or planted? Good. Or was it made in a lab? That maybe something to sneer away from.

I read an article today about "reseting" your taste buds. Processed food destroys your sense of taste to the degree that you cannot enjoy normal food anymore. You see it daily with people who cannot eat anything but junk food because they hate the taste. But it can be reversed.

As for beans... they are actually mood food, along with all legumen. Hummus is an example of delicious food medicine (at least for me).
