Personal tangent: Being home bound during the apocalypse, I finally embraced beans, lentils, squash, etc. Pressure cooker FTW. Mostly as a labor saving measure. Also finally started baking breads, scones, biscuits, pies, etc. I love eating like this. I probably won't go back. Even when I biff (tbh most of the time), stuff is still pretty good fresh out or the oven. To your point: Craving some sweets, I bought some cookies. Ugh, way too sweet. Baking for myself, I cut the sugar to 1/3 to 1/2 of what the recipe says. If I still want more, I just have some jam. TLDR: We habituate to sugar levels.
