I have a love of crunchy foods. I mainly love the crunchy sound as I eat them.
Is there an evolutionary theory of why I might have evolved to love these? The only theory I could think of is that they're a marker of freshness in some vegetables. But nature never made anything as crunchy as the crunchy foods I love.

- puranjay 10y agoPerhaps the crunchiness is related to a sense of safety? If you were being hunted, you'd hog down your food and wouldn't really get a chance to savor the sound it makes when you eat it. (I'm completely riffing though)
