Taco Bell I hate you!

[Mystic79]

Why must your tacos and burritos taste so good! Granted I had good self-control lately and have been avoiding eating that, but now I usually go out with my friends (of course I'm sober now, so I'm the DD), but late at night when we drive back Taco Bell is on every corner, open late! ARGHHH, I wish the best tasting foods weren't so bad for you.

Mmmm, Mexican food. There is a chain sit down restaurant called Don Pablo's which has the best salsa and chips on the planet. Whenever I go there, I eat so much of their chips and salsa, by the time the main course comes, I'm more than full.

"ARGHHH, I wish the best tasting foods weren't so bad for you."

Know what you mean, how come a can of tuna, can't taste like a burrito. If a scientist ever came up with such a product, he/she would be an instant billionaire

I think a lot of it is in how we define 'yummy'. We tend to think that anything that's 'naughty' is yummy.

It's kinda like "why do things fall DOWN?". Really, it's because 'down' is the word we use to describe whichever way things fall. Right now, 'down' is toward your feet. Suppose you wake up with your shoes strapped to the ceiling, and all the furniture is bolted to the ceiling. Will that fool you? Of course not, because you can feel gravity pulling you in a particular direction - and you call that direction 'down'. 'Down' isn't toward your feet anymore.

Somewhere deep down inside us, we define 'yummy' as the stuff that's bad for us. Maybe it's because when we're kids we are given sweets as rewards, then told that we can't have them all the time - they're 'bad for us'. I think that is only part of it.

Somewhere in our subconscious we want the stuff that we know is dangerous - the whole 'forbidden fruit' thing. So when we're young we can't wait to smoke, or a little bit older we drive too fast, or fantasize about some other woman. We're kinda naughty-by-nature, in some ways. How many of us though smoking was REALLY yummy when we tried it? How many of us kept smoking?

Ever know a guy who was messin' around on his wife? As often as not, the girlfriend isn't as good-looking as the wife. BUT.... she's forbidden!

I'll bet those Taco Hell burritos SEEM to taste better today than they REALLY DID taste back when you 'didn't know better' than to eat them. I mean, they sound WONDERFUL now. Back then they were just ...kinda ... OK I guess....better than broccoli.


Few of us are immune.

So... when are we going? I'll drive. ...and WOW! Look at that blonde! Boy, I'd like to......
