Humans have a very varied diet. Some people eat food just to their taste ,that is , they just like it without considering whether it isgood or bad for their health,while others are very particular about what they eat. They only pick out what are good to their health however they want to eat something else that they think is bad for them although it tastes delicious.What about you?

Hi. I just do it as you. I think eating is important to one's health.There is a Chinese saying saying that illness comes from one's mouth. That is to say, if one doesn't pay attention to what he eats, he will have some disease. As nowadays, pollution is more and more serious, one should care for the food.

Yeah. i quite agree with you. We should focus on the safety of the food we eat.As pollution is more and more serious, the safety of food is a big problem.we should draw more attention to the food to eat rather than go to hospital after eating something bad.Medicine is a kind of poison in a way.

I basically eat foods that I like, even if there are times when I know it is not good for me (or the amount of food is not good for my health already). I guess it is hard to be restrictive when it comes to food because it is one of the activities that gives us pleasure when we do it. Now, I am quite open-minded when ti comes to food. I try to eat healthy but still please my palate. nothing is wrong but doing both things.

Yeah. There is not so strict the rules about the food that which people must eat or which they mustn't eat.It's common that people eat healthy foods and some times they try something delicious just to have a change.And a little of it doesn't make a difference to one's health.

Archai, nowadays i teach myself to eat food that is good for health. And eat less food that i like, ice-cream and chocolates. Although they are tastes nice and delicious but eaten too much is not good for our health. I learned to cook and eat more veggies nowadays after seeing my parents are down with illness in such a young age. I want to try to stay healthy into ripe old age. Because nowadays medicine is not a cheap thing. It is getting more expensive day by day in my area here.

I do both. Some things I eat because i know it is good for me. And some things i eat just because I love the taste so much. But I moderate myself from the foods i know are unhealthy. Even though it taste good you shouldn't always eat it in my opinion. :)

I eat what appeals to my taste regardless of the health benefits and I am the type that like sugary food. I like pasteries and bananas which I often consume on a weekly basis. I also like ice cream and chocolates. These type of food are known to contains chemicals that is not good for our health. However, I am the type that is addicted to it. So long as it taste nice to me Then to hell with the comments of the health experts regarding this food.
