I concur! When people become stressed and confused about eating, we usually turn back to what we like to or usually eat, this doesn't help anyone learn more about what we are supposed to eat and the way we eat. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
We talk about what to eat, but less about how we think about it. The stress, judgement & fear around food choices aren’t just exhausting—they make eating decisions harder. We don't think as clearly. We default to habits & jump to conclusions... That’s probably not helping anyone eat better.

I agree! A lot of the time people go through diets because they don't understand the benefits of certain foods they are eating! For instance, a fat free diet is not only cutting out bad saturated fats, but is also cutting out the good and healthy unsaturated fats. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
We love to give diets a name; people love to create communities around them. People form factions to advocate for and against them. Quite often, this does more to harm than help.

I know that heating foods breaks down chemical bonds of fats and proteins, but I never thought that it could change the flavors of certain foods! That's so cool! But if heating foods can change their flavors, does cooling/freezing them as well? I think it does! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Someone asked why melted cheese tastes so much better...I love these Qs, it's food science we take for granted!
Melting breaks down fats and proteins to release umami + aroma/flavour compounds. The gooey texture spreads to the tastebuds better + the Maillard reaction creates that toasty flavour.
