Taste: We Eat What We Are

Ever since life emerged from the sea onto land, it has faced the challenge of staying hydrated without water. We thus began to draw on various nutrients whose individual tastes send signals to our brains—saltiness reminds us of the sea and brings satisfaction, bitterness indicates danger, and sweetness awakens our energy. Consumption balances the scales between the content of individual organisms and the environment from which we draw. We long for what we need, which does not make us different from other animals.
