> That late night trip to McDonalds will have you feeling like shit the next day I've never had this reaction to fast food before. I only eat mcdonalds every few months and yea it's not the highest quality food, but I don't think there's anything in it to make you sick any more than other burger places have. I imagine you'd have to have restricted fast-food nutrition for quite some time before you feel a difference. I'd like to see a study comparing people who ate mcdonalds who thought of it like slop vs those who saw it as a treat. I'm curious how much of this is psychosomatic, or how much of the craving for mcdonalds is rooted in feeling like crap in the first place. (Granted, I've never had an issue with maintaining my appetite before, in fact I have issues keeping weight on, so I might have a fundamentally different relationship with food.)

The way I read it, i think the original commenter would usually agree with you, but the effect of the drug turns the post-fast food / treat satiation from joy to pain.

  I believe you're correct. Apologies for the confusion.

>> That late night trip to Mcs will have you feeling like crap the next day > I've never had this reaction to fast food before. I do. Because of it, I eat fastfood when I'm willing to pay that price, ~5x/decade. > I'd like to see a study comparing people who ate mcs who thought of it like slop vs those who saw it as a treat. I'm curious how much of this is psychosomatic. The notion that our psychology could be holding us back from fastfood completeness is one that never occurred to me. I like how novel it is.

  I believe you, but what do you think it is in the food that causes such severe reactions for you but doesn't affect me at all? Humans lived through periods of extreme starvation and other forms of malnutrition—our genetics are extremely clear on this, as is our tendancy to cannibalize our muscles when they're underused. It seems absurd to me a slightly different selection of nutrients could cause acute distress. (Hence my recourse to psychology—which would map well with the shift towards the moralization of nutrition these past few decades.)

    >I believe you, but what do you think it is in the food that causes such severe reactions for you but doesn't affect me at all? Food sensitivities are primarily a lot of medical questions, for which we have few answers. For example many fresh breads will give me stomach cramps and Rosacea. I can eat those same ingredients+amounts in other foods and be fine. Many fastfoods ramp my brainfog up to 11. I don't know why. I'm in a poor position to consider the issue while the brainfog is in play. I could consider it later but the best I can hope for is unsubstantiated guesses.
