In my experience people either eat just to sustain themselves (these folks tend to remain lean as food means little or nothing to them) and those who truly enjoy food. Most of us develop a taste for what we eat growing up, whether it be Spam and lime Jello or steak tartare and flan; we are pretty much stuck with those preferences for life, be they salty, spicy, bland, healthy or unhealthy. The good news is that, to my knowledge, in America we truly have more choice in what we eat than anywhere else in the world.
Those who love tasty food will probably enjoy this book.
