so the question is why is a tomato so empty and  flavorless well this also explains why it’s very  

difficult to get your kids to eat their vegetables  because they don’t taste like anything so is it  

the lack of nutrients that’s causing this problem  well nutrients themselves don’t have any flavor  

so what is it well a tomato and other plants  have hundreds of flavor chemicals and that’s what  

gives you the flavor and it just so happens that  these flavor chemicals are made from essential  

nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids like essential  amino acids and so we do have a direct connection  

between nutrients and flavor chemicals now why  does the food have flavor in the first place  

well it has to do with survival a survival  mechanism it’s like the plant saying hey  

i’m over here come get me this is where all the  nutrients are and so when you talk about real food  

flavor equals nutrients it’s a survival  mechanism it’s our way of detecting  

if something has nutrients in it or not and within  our body we have this great desire for flavors so  

we can be attracted to nutrients now unfortunately  since the 50s the nutrients and foods have just  

took a dive downward and so nowadays when  you get this amazing looking tomato at the  

store and you bite into it it’s like okay  where is the nutrients where is the flavor  

and so there’s so many foods nowadays that  are bland chicken breasts beef commercial beef  

uh commercial pork just really bland did you  know that they actually now flavor meats as well  

in fact the next time you buy some meat at the  store look on the label you’re gonna find out  

they actually had flavorings to meat chicken  breast has chicken flavor to make it taste like  

chicken yeah i’m not kidding and so people made  this transition away from real food because it’s  

so bland to processed food and that’s where  they add all the flavors this data is from an  

amazing book that i’m reading it’s called a dorito  effect fascinating information i highly recommend  

that you get it i’ll put a link down below and the  thing about doritos is i was the guy that consumed  

massive amounts of doritos in college in high  school because of these amazing flavors and of  

course i couldn’t stop eating them because there  is no signal back to my brain letting me know  

that there’s nutrients in there so i kept eating  them over and over and over so we’ve made this  

shift in the last 40 years from nutrient-dense  foods to flavorful processed foods and this is  

one of the big reasons why people are overeating  because they don’t have the nutrients so what is  

the solution try to get your foods from places  like the farmer’s market or get foods that are  

like grass-fed while caught organic you are going  to get more nutrients and definitely more flavor
