Food, what's more important? Taste or healthiness?

[fuddly]

Maybe when you get older like me, healthiness is more important

Also, there is so much conflicting information, who knows what's healthy?

For me healthiness is low fat vegetarian

No fish
No eggs
No butter

Green vegetables
Rice
Pasta
Potatoes
Salad, peppers, carrots, cabbage, oat milk, soya milk
Apple pie, fruit cake, biscuits

Tastiness

Healthiness

Something tasty at the weekend

Don't care

Balance. I LOVE pizza. So much so that left to my devices I'd eat it everyday and weight 400lbs. But that's why I only allow myself it once a week. And only if I've met my health goals for the week. Life is about balance. So yes, taste is important. But if you're like me, God made everything that's bad for you taste real good.😂

Nothing tastes like skinny feels🙂

I disagree. But if you're health obsessed that's you.

[fuddly]

That's just a well know joke🙂

I agree man feeling healthy, being healthy is important. But life is short! You only get one go around in life. Eat the decadent desert. Just don't the whole f***ing pan of brownies.😆👍💯

For me, it's a balance between taste and health, with taste being slightly more important. If it doesn't taste good, I probably won't eat it, it doesn't matter if it's healthy or not. Something that tastes good and is healthy is the best, but in the overall scheme of things, that's a minority of foods.

I think lots of people think that way
But that's conditioning and loading up sugar and salt into take away food etc

Imho we need to rethink attitude to food

Crazy that these weight loss drugs are all the rage

In the culinary world, striking a balance is key. Taste and health can work together to make eating enjoyable and nourishing. Exploring various cuisines shows that flavor doesn't have to be sacrificed for health. Think of a delicate Japanese miso soup; it's light yet packed with umami, offering a comforting taste while being healthy. Italian cuisine, with its use of fresh herbs and tomatoes, showcases a harmonious blend of taste and nutritious ingredients. It's about finding dishes that satisfy your palette and well-being. 😊

I'm lacto-ovo-vegetarian, for me, taste is more important, but of course, it's also important that the food is healthy.

[fuddly]

You drink milk, eat eggs?

[Xawyx-2]

Yes, and honey too. I'm not a vegan.

[slatyb]

They are not opposed.

[fuddly]

Often they are opposed
Tell me any take away food that's healthy?

[slatyb]

What's not? Fast food hamburgers, pizza, other high fat dishes. What's healthy? Indian, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Italian restaurants offer reasonably healthy dishes.

[fuddly]

Don't think they are healthy
Big portion sizes
Probably high fat

[fuddly]

Ye pizza high fat too

[fuddly]

High salt

[slatyb]

It's take away. You don't have to eat it all for one meal. You can order high fat foods or not. It's not like a hamburger chain, where everything is high fat. Anyway the fat won't kill you, the sugar will.

[fuddly]

The fat and salt will get you in the heart over time

The sugar... How will that get you? Obesity?
