Reply to comment by liquid_at in why do we perceive certain smells as good or bad? by justanotherbabywitxh

Iirc salt cravings and finding salty foods tasty can actually be a sign of salt deficiency. So your body 'makes' you find it even more delicious until you are topped up. But other times the same salty chips may be revolting.

definitely. When you crave some specific food, it's usually your body telling you that it needs those nutrients right now.

gets a bit skewed with highly processed food, but the body is smart in that way.

I've often wondered what my body craves then when it really really wants a cheese burger.

Oh wait is that the highly processed part?
