I'm not sure if its because when I fast (i.e skip meals) I get horrible migraines and I'm so glad to get rid of it by eating something - anything! Sometimes I just dont take good care of myself as I should. I have experienced that before too.

But after fasting my stance has really changed. :) I definitely know what you mean, I used to eat “just to get it out of the way so I could get back to more important things” and so never really tasted my food that much.

And as I was sitting here eating an apple, it made me think about how much was I really appreciating and savoring this? Probably not so much... And your last line here is so awesome: "...iceberg lettuce"!!!! Nathalie,

LOL <br><br>I believe it's because our tastebuds are a lot more pure after we've cleaned and detoxed and we can REALLY taste the food.

It's one of the weirdest things. But it totally makes sense now that I've thought about a bit more. If you were starving out in the desert and you happened upon anything edible, your body would MAKE it taste good so you'd eat it and not starve. :) Yeaaaah! It's one of the weirdest things.
