Why food is tasteful

[FearGod]

How you can explain it by random mutation and natural selection ?
We can eat to survive without the need to enjoy the food's taste,a hunger feeling is enough to fetch for the food.

Many species can survive while eating rubbish,so there should be an explanation other than naturally occurring for humans to have a variety of delicious foods.

To the crow, the rubbish is tasty, and sustaining.

If it tastes good, it's not spoiled or poisonous and thus safe to eat.

That's an extreme oversimplification, sure, but that's the gist as I understand it.

Furthermore, we're omnivorous, which means we can eat just about anything.

Thirdly, taste is something acquired and impressioned. I love things that are bad for me, and hate things that are good for me.

i don't agree that we can eat anything,Can you eat a cat ?

But we have many variety of taste which i see it as amazing.
Mangoes,apples,oranges,banana,fish,chicken ,meat plus what we got today choco,coffee and many many recipes.

if we aren't made to enjoy those delicious foods,then where it came from,random mutation & natural selection.

Hold on, are you essentially saying that there is a Creator because some of us like the taste of some of the food most of us can eat?

^ This.

i asked to explain it in away other than a creator,i mean if not planned and designed,then what other choices we have.

if random mutation & natural selection,then i don't see a delicious food is necessary for survival as feeling hungary is enough to look for something to eat.

Just look at the word you used : necessary.

Evolution is not about whether something is 'necessary' but rather as to whether it improves survival chances.

How it improves survival chances.

We eat to survive,thats it,then why it made enjoyable.

Theoretically, yes, we could eat a cat and our bodies would be able to process it.

But we have many variety of taste which i see it as amazing.

By virtue of being omnivorous.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

I didn't think it was possible for the anti-evolution arguments to get any more embarrassing and desperate.

I was wrong.

I told you: tastes good = not spoiled and not poisonous = safe to eat.

Is it that simple,tastes good.

Each item have different taste and flavour,not just tastes good,not spoiled,not poisonous,but it is a complex proccess which should be explained well by evolutionists because it is very obvious that random mutations and natural selection isn't a rational answer,lets speak science.

We are. It really is that simple.

Furthermore, from a psychological perspective, it's possible to change someone's opinion on what tastes good and what doesn't with the right conditioning and repetition. Children are naturally conditioned by what they're parents do and teach them, and so they regard what they're parents eat as what they should eat (I'm talking about the VERY young, here, not the older children who won't eat anything that's not coated in sugar).

The parents don't eat anything spoiled or poisoned, so the child won't, either, and knows not to.

And of course, (just adding to your point) some people do eat cat.

China and Korea are nations that currently consume cat, and probably some other places.

We evolved with this aspect.

It is exactly why are nose is next to our mouth. So we can avoid rotten or non food substance like waste, that are of no benefit to what our bodies can absorb as useful.

Some animals have a digestive system that has no problem processing certain waste products as useful material, ours do not.

Peru does, but it usually turns their noses red from a bacteria in the meat. In poor cities where this happens you can pick out the poverty stricken people that do this.

I suppose that's one of the potential problems with eating carnivorous animals.

And really, Peru? I'd've never thought've that. Mind you, Wiki claims that some rural Swiss folk do it too.

My ex wife was Peruvian and I have traveled most every part of the country. Her mom native to the country had explained this to me. Ica was were my ex pointed out a homeless person with a red nose and that is where I learned of this. All of her family had commented about when we were talking one night. They were pretty well off and frowned on this practice as that of need from poverty.

Cat meat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cat is not a regular menu item in Peru, but is used in such dishes as fricassee and stews most abundant in two specific sites in the country: the southern town of Chincha Alta (Ica Region, Afro-Peruvian mostly) and the north-central Andean town of Huari (Ancash Region). Primarily used by Afro-Peruvians. Cat cooking techniques are demonstrated every September during the festival of Saint Efigenia in a town of La Quebrada.[12] In Huari, cat is consumed as replacement for guinea pig, most used through all Peruvian Highlands. Huari born people are often known as mishicancas (from Ancash Quechua mishi kanka, grilled cat


I cannot verify the red nose aspect, but it is known in the Peruvian local culture as true. Maybe its a local myth im not sure.
