Who can guarantee that chocolate won’t become a super food in near future?
So redesign the human taste system to measure how much of each nutrient you have and how much you need, including micronutrients formerly reliably common in the ancestral environment, and macronutrients formerly reliably scarce. Then it will function fine even after civilization collapses. Evolutions are stupid.
I think the esthetic pleasure of chocolate must have a strong digestive component.
Seth Roberts would agree with you. I don’t think he’s written about that particular experiment, but it confirms his basic argument on flavor-calorie association.
