I read years ago about how an absence of bitter-tasting items in the diet makes

one crave sweets. Does anyone know more about this?

Dandelions make an okay vegetable. ....I do not have a sweet tooth in

general and was thinking as I ate the

dandelions that I enjoyed them more at the last bite than the first. Our

society is way to trained to expect everything to taste the same or to taste

sweet. There are plenty of other taste sensations we just need to

get used to so we can also enjoy those properly too.As the ayurvedic folks say

- it you have a lot of tastes in a meal it is far more satisfying.

It's a basic rule in ayurvedic system. Deepak Chopra has a little book

out on weight control using ayureveda, when I find my copy (I have too

many book cases!) I'll post a name if you like. It's in there in more

detail.
