David A. Kessler. M.D wrote an article which talks about the end of over eating. A main point that he brings up in his article is called “Bliss Point” (pg 14). A bliss point is when a person gets to the highest point in pleasure from what they just ate; they then lose the essence of the product. Many food corporations understand that by adding more sugars, fats, and or salt to their products that some customers would not want to come back. Many fast food companies balance out what they put in their foods so they can continue having the customers come back for more. This causes many of the customers to become overweight. Since we continue to back to these fast food restaurants, our balance (homeostasis) of eating when hungry and stopping when full becomes unstable. We continue to eat because of the palatability that we get in return.
Nice post -- but that font is hard to read!
ReplyDeleteVery well written amber, This post has to be one of your best. Its compressed but its sharp and to the point. You gave an excellent explanation on both of your key words. "Bliss point" and "homeostasis" I got a full understanding on both words and to be honest i don’t think anything should be changed or added. You were able to compress the post which is really a masterminded task to do in journaling. However though as Professor Jrc mentioned the font made it a little difficult to read, but i thought it was very artistic. Overall it is a sharply written post. Great job.
