Mark Schatzaker's "The Dorito Effect" essentially states that nature intended our DNA to rely on flavor to determine what is good for us . Those natural cravings are a clue to what you need. the problem is our food , livestock, etc is getting blander and we are using too many added synthetic flavors which misguide us into eating junk foods. Strawberry flavoring does substitute for the essential nutrients in a strawberry, etc great read

You've offered some new information. I'll enjoy doing some research and learning more. Thanks.
