Great Recipes and Great Food

There are many reasons why people would rather chow down on a chicken chow mein than start on a crunchy salad.

Taste

Taste is very important to people which is why they will choose a curry over a boring old salad, a big mistake in the long run. This is where the addiction and weight gain comes from. Salads on the other hand tend not to be something that many people get addicted too simply because of the things inside it. The things that people get addicted too is the oils and fats inside the foods itself which is why salads and healthy things to not contain it.

Sound

Some decent dish names need to be made for the salads as they sound very poor compared to the bacon fries or double bacon and mushroom cheeseburger. This is really only down to the fact that junk food has become very popular, if it was the other way around then salad would sound like a really good idea.

Look

If you are looking straight down at a salad, sure there a lot of colours and textures but if you then replace it with a burger then you are going to be having a field day. This is once again down to the fact that the media has shown junk food to be a better option to have. Now of course things are changing and junk food is trying to be pushed out by the healthier options.

Smell

As well as this, famous brands like KFC are recognised across the world by the smell of the chicken, there arent many restaurants than can do that. A lot of people are forgetting that there are healthier options out there like fish and pasta that smell, look and taste brilliant

It would certainly seem that our own senses actually help us to choose what food we are interested in. If you are thinking about junk food then it is fine to have in small bits so why not go out and order in some Indian food.
