/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Any by "regular food" I mean food from regular eating establishments.

Because fast food is designed to be addicting at the expense of all else with a lot of fat and sugar and salt.

>eat berries
>tastes like crack cocaine
>eat fast food

I don't think crack cocaine tastes very good, man.

>>16166759
Fructose is chemically addictive, you actually go into physical withdrawal if you cease consumption. Grease and salt taste good. That's all there is to it.

>>16166759
If you're ordering the restaurant version of fast food then that's your problem. Try ordering a steak the next time you go to McDonalds. Order a Lobster at Arby's. There is a place for restaurants and its for food that doesn't work well in a fast food environment.

>>16167083
Liar. Cocaine tastes like numb

>>16166759
Have you ever tried exercise you fat faggot?

>>16168119
Where do you think you are?

Because the restaurant doesn't have a staff of food scientists doing research on what combination of grease, salt, and preservatives will get them the most repeat customers.
Also, your taste buds could be fucked and your microbiome might be out of whack.

>try fast food
>it's so gross I can't finish my meal, leaving more than 75% of it untouched and on the plate
what am I missing here?

>>16166759
Fast food spends millions of dollars in research and development in catering tastes to the most people. This usually means a massive amount of sugars, fats, sodium, etc.

Regular foods don't have that benefit and are made tradtionally.

For local diners the secret incredients is a boatload of butter. For fast food the ingredient is a boatload of salt and/or MSG. Even places that say they don't have MSG are typically lying. That just means that they don't personally add MSG to the food, but that doesn't mean that MSG wasn't already added to their spices and sauces before it got to the restaurant.

I used to have those plates. Strange way to trigger nostalgia

>>16166759
you need to improve your cooking

>>16166759
So you've tried eating fast food and regular food, why don't you try eating good food?

>>16166759
sugar, salt, msg, fat - these are addictive and fast food uses a lot of it

>>16167226
How can you tell them apart?

>>16170926
He can't he just wants you to know he browsed 4chan before it was the only usable forum left. Isn't he cool?

>>16171386
yes

>>16168677
Your retarded ass probably ordered some disgusting non specialty at McDonald's item.

>have mad craving for McDonald's or something similar
>go buy some
>it taste kinda crap
>why did I even buy this
>decide to stop buying fast food because it's always so disappointing

>like a week later
>have mad craving for McDonald's or something similar
>repeat process

It's intentional. Fast food is packed full of salt and sugar and fat and MSG while "regular food" isnt. None of those things on their own and in normal amounts is bad, but together it makes you instantly euphoric and, more insidiously, makes you hungrier faster. If you just make some dashi using dried fish, yeah, that has natural MSG, but it doesnt have the same effect as eating fast food with injected MSG and salt and sugar and fat. I dong care for fast food, but it's made to be addictive.

Salt is very powerful. They manage to add a lot without making it unbearable by spreading it in every facet of what you eat. Pizza has salt in the crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Because you just realized manlet supremacy
