In the future: Would you take a pill or eat real food?

pill.

and eat on special occasions.

 

both.

Spoiler

 

I would venture to say eating out is the issue, not just fast food. I think I consume more calories at a restaurant than I do going to Wendys grabbing a burger.

That said, I would probably go with a pill.

 

They already invented the pill and called it water and raw vegetables. I think sugar and salt are the basic components of dietary "pleasure" and that anyone who's already denying themselves this could easily swear off food altogether.

 

Both.

 

I mean if i get fat then i eat half a pill and two costco bags less chips and start dropping pounds?

Ephedra eat your heart out (or set least seize it up)

 

If the pill would fill me up, that would mean I don't have to cook or clean dishes and I save a bunch of time everyday.

Give me the pill for sure.

 

I could do both, taking a pill if I dont have time or want to eat very healthy, but if I have the time, I go for the real food.

so most of the time, I would prefer real food.

 

Food for sure. I enjoy cooking myself and exploring the creativity and culture of food. I feel like certain food is art

 

80% pills, 20% good food. I have a foodie mode (definitely when I travel), but most of the time it feels like a chore.

One day last week I had a banana and didn't eat my first (and only meal) at 5 pm. There are many days where I don't eat a bite until 2 pm. Just because I'm really focused and don't want to stop what I'm doing. A really bad habit I need to break.

 

There's a reason we have taste buds. Food please.

 

I'd take the pill. Not a going out to eat kinda guy and eating takes way too much time anyway

 

There are many features that humans have evolved that technology has made obsolete. Taste buds are a good example- if we didn't have them, a large part of what makes us obease (the reward of taste) would be missing and people would eat far less.

In the end, food is a necessity that I would gladly give up if there were a quicker, more efficient alternative. Think of all the extra time you would have to pursue more intellectual endeavors. Think of how even your energy and thinking levels would be if you could sustain the right level of nutrition 24/7. It's a no-brainer.

 

Food.

I'd rather take Senzu Beans than pills.

 

Pill for sure.

I'd still want to eat every now and then, have a BBQ or something, but it would rare. A pill would just make everything so much more convenient.

 

Neither.

 

Curious if true that taste buds are the primary factor in reinforcing eating habits. I was always under the assumption that it was the sugar and fat content that messed with dopamine levels. Taste buds only tell our brains what it is that we are eating.

In other words, if we had high sugar and fat pills, we would probably gravitate to those.

 

Where would this disaster of a world be that you can't savor some bacon?!?!!?

Oh, wait... this entirely will change my answer from NO to ABSO-FREAKIN'-LUTELY NOT. I love my pooping time.

 

Never will I take a pill, I don't care what they claim.

 

I'll take the pill in the mornings or when I need to eat but don't feel like cooking/ordering food. Otherwise I'm eating whenever I can.
