One may wonder if the sense of taste is a luxury that is not necessary. For the food intake and its conversion into energy, it is not necessary. For the TASTE, however, it is. So I eat a food, which tastes good to me and is delicious for me, differently than one, which resists me because of its taste. So why do we have the sense of taste? I think it belongs in the realm of the need for beauty. By this I mean: we are not only functional beings, but we also need our sense, our desire for beauty, to be satisfied. This is particularly striking after the pandemic of COVID-19, where many infected people reported the loss of taste perception. This has had a massive impact on quality of life. A good occasion, therefore, to consciously perceive this sense and possibly herbs or similar today, to enjoy and be grateful that we have this perception and that it gives us so much quality of life.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
