A person’s choice of food always should be based on a sense of taste and pleasure. Taste is the most important sense among other 5 senses of a human body. And when it’s the time to decide for taking food, it should be based on a sense of taste, not rely on a sense of nutrition or food value. If a food is full of nutrition or food value, but doesn’t taste good then what is the meaning of taking that food? It is not a matter for doing anything; it is the matter of taking food. If my taste sense denies taking that food which is full of nutrition then it is useless to take that food. So, at the time of taking food, we always have to choose food on the basis of taste sense not rely on food value or nutrition.
A food that tastes good is always good for health. Tasty foods also have good nutrition and food value. If we don’t support the taste sense then it is useless to take food. If we see our food habits we can easily rely on taste sense. As we are Bangladeshi, our main food is rice, and with rice we eat fish, beef, mutton, chicken etc. these items are tasty, but, if we just start only taking vegetables that would be tasteless few days later. Fish and meat also have nutrition. Besides these, we often eat burger, sandwich, rolls etc. that tastes good, and our body can consume those items. If we only think of nutrition and food value, we have to give up those items and only have to take vegetables or nutrition filled food items and our life will become tasteless.
In our country, maximum foods we can see or eat don’t have the actual food nutrition parameter or food value. If we take any packet of food, there would be a table contained some nutrition value, but if we check it we can find faulty parameter or wrong information. Producers only give those nutrition tables not basis on examination. They only put it, because they have to. On the other hand, many foods available in the market are without nutrition table. So, if we rely on the sense of nutrition or food value, it will very much tough to carry on.
Tasty foods, which are not filled of nutrition, many are full of fat. But we can work on it. For cutting or giving up those fats from our body, we can do work out or gym or jogging. That will help us to fit our body and lead a healthy life. With the habit of work out we can eat based on our taste sense. It will help us not only to take food based on our taste sense but also to lead a healthy beautiful life with good body fitness.
However, it is good to take food based on nutrition or food value, it is also more important to take food rely on a sense of taste and pleasure. Though our country doesn’t have right nutrition table based food, we have to rely on taste and that will more beneficial for us to lead a healthy good life. If our taste sense satisfy with that food we consume, it will good for our health. So, finally we should take food on the basis of good taste and pleasure.

Thoughts Experiment

...According to the video, each of us is like a box with five holes to input. These five holes are the five senses: sight, audition, smell, taste, and touch. We use these five senses to search, feel, and understand the world. Every perspective to the world is from the five senses. For example, we know a ball is round because we see its shape; we can distinguish the sound of violin from that of piano because our audition tell us they are different; we know fire is hot and ice is cold because we have that feelings when we touch them. How these feelings turn to our experience? All of those feelings will generate electric impulses which will be sent to the brain’ neurons, so the brain will record them. This is the way we feel the world. Based on the model, if we take a brain out of a person, and connect its neurons by wires to a supercomputer which can send the same electric impulses as the normal brain received, can this brain just experiences the same as before? Secondly we need to understand how the supercomputer simulates a world. The assumption is that the supercomputer is programmed by the mad scientist, so that it can generate appropriate impulses. For instance, the brain will still feel hot when the consciousness of the person touches fire in the simulated world; the person can still enjoyed concert in the world; or the person just tastes the pasta the same as in the real world. Everything seems to be perfect: the...

Nature Essay

...a better and different mindset, nature can become something more. One must make himself vulnerable to all of the living organisms around. By opening up all of one’s senses, a deeper understanding of the uniqueness can be observed. Spending as little as ten minutes or as much as ten hours in a secluded, distant location in the forest can be beneficial for the person spending their time open to nature. For instance, I had a forty-five minute appointment with nature that unveiled more about the mystery behind nature and the way one’s senses operate. When spending time in nature, usually the first and primary response humans have to it is sight. Sight can answer many questions, but still leaves a great amount left to the other senses: touch, taste, smell, and hearing. Encompassing all five senses can heighten one’s experience in nature and overall opinion on nature. I spent a time outside of my school with my English class; the entire event was very interesting. When I first walked outside I noticed the glaring, bright sun up above the earth almost instantly; squinting was almost necessary on a bright, sunny day similar to this one. The rays of the sun lightly warmed my face and the rest of my body, all while lighting up the entire surface of the world. As I turned away from the sun, I noticed the tall, monumental trees around me. They gave out a towering feeling and made me have a feeling of smallness. I then reached out to touch the trees, themselves. Some trees even have a shaggy...

Zara Case

...MIGHT ZARA “FAIL”? HOW SUSTAINABLE ARE THEIR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES? Zara’s plan to expand internationally could be a possible threat of failure to Zara. To enter in international markets, Zara needs to deliver its apparels in-time, at competitive prices, customized for local markets and everything in a short lead time. Thus, Zara faced several important issues regarding its international expansion. There are visible differences in cultural, social, political conditions in others countries and they have different tastes as well. In addition, Zara has a centralized logistic model may make the expand plan more difficult because they need a distribution centers in their international locations to save on lead time, transportation costs and logistic costs. Moreover, another threat of Zara could be the direct competition in the international Market, such as H&M and Benetton. In the case of H&M the threat is bigger because it uses a similar model than Zara if we talk about the price and fashion characteristics of its products. As do Zara, H&M designs clothes based on international tasted. Zara’s competitive advantages are highly sustainable and have pumped the company’s success in Europe.

Bad Eating Habits

...Like most people, you probably have a few bad eating habits, whether it be munching on a bag of potato chips when you talk on the phone or scarfing down a doughnut during break time at work. You may think that it's the taste of that chocolate doughnut that keeps your hand dipping into the doughnut box. Not necessarily so. Surprisingly, some bad eating habits persist even when food tastes bad. Bad Eating Habits Persist Even When Food Tastes Bad Researchers gave groups of people attending a movie a bucket of freshly popped popcorn or a container of stale popcorn to munch on during the show. Moviegoers who didn't regularly go to the movies ate very little of the stale popcorn because they didn't like the taste. On the other hand, those who regularly purchased popcorn at the movies ate the same amount of the crunchy snack whether it was freshly popped or stale. The habit of eating popcorn at the movies was so firmly ingrained they ate it even when it didn't taste good. Even a stale, flavorless bag of popcorn wasn't enough to change their eating habits. This study suggests that once you've formed a bad eating habit, it's likely to persist even when the experience is no longer pleasurable. Outside environmental cues such as being in a movie theater or talking on the phone can be a trigger for some eating behaviors, even more so than the taste of the food itself. How many times have you found yourself mindless munching on something without really tasting it? These automatic...

The Senses

...The senses: Taste, touch, sight, hearing and smell. Everything we know is based on our perception of our senses and our knowledge of the world. Everything we know of perceptually in our brain’s memory bank is built upon the senses. Our senses pick up information and send it to our brain to be processed into something tangible. We use our senses to prove what we are told and we unconsciously depend upon our senses to function. Someone tells us a train is coming and it is near; we immediately want proof of it. The first instinct we have is to look for it and if we don’t see it we listen for it. If we cannot see or hear it then more than likely we are probably not going to believe that the train is near and dismiss the person as being misinformed. Our senses help us to make ‘sound” judgments as to whether we believe in something, if we like or dislike something, and if we trust or fear something. Without our senses we could not function. Businesses use sensory analysis, a technique to test or analyze our senses for their marketing. A restaurant uses sensory analysis to find out if their products are feasible to market by analyzing the effect a food product has upon their clients. The International Organization for Standardization has set procedures for sensory analysis “to conduct sensory evaluations under constant, controlled conditions with a minimum of distractions, to reduce the effect that psychological factors and physical conditions can have on human judgment”...

Cultural Field Trip

...Cultural Field Trip Karen Wethington Sociology-111-40F Kreider Cultural Field Trip- Damask Cafe For my cultural field trip I chose a different cultural dining experience. My son had gone on a missions trip last year to Chicago. While he was there, he was introduced to the Indonesian culture through worship and fellowship with an Indonesian family. He was invited to their home and had dinner with them,they also had Indonesian food at the church as well. When he came home all he could talk about was the food. He truly enjoyed it. So I thought it would be nice to have family and friends share a meal together from a different culture. Originally, I had chosen "The Nile Restaurant", I thought Egyptian food sounded interesting, unfortunately, they were closed for the fourth of July weekend. So we went to Damask Café instead. Damask Cafe is an, "Eastern Mediterranean Eatery". Damask is referred as the fabric of royalty, Damask is the rich, elegant cloth used in clothing, tapestries and upholstery throughout the ages. The fabric is intricately woven so that its mirror image appears on the back side; it is reversible! Damask takes its name from Damascus, Syria, where the twelfth century Europeans found its finest examples. It was carried on the silk road from Damascus and has decorated the royals' and their castles' from the Middle East to China, to Italy and the rest of Europe. Just as Damask fabric is made by the interplay of colors and weaves, Damask Café believes...

Philosophy 201

...Would You Rather Live in Ignorant Bliss or the Horrible Truth? Liberty University Online Phil 201: Fall Semester 2014 Most of us have watched the movie, “The Matrix.” What some people might not know is that this is not a new concept. There have been philosophers, namely Plato and Descartes, who have been pondering concepts like this, way before the movie was released. Is there a way to prove that the world we live in is real, and not just some sort of dream? Can we trust the five senses that we depend on so much? How can we be sure that how we live, where we live, and what we live for is real? Let’s explore. The Matrix talks about how we are all being deceived in this world, being hooked up to brain stimulating cable that produces the lives we know in our minds. Descartes played with the same question but found a different solution. “From this foundational idea, Descartes went on to argue for the existence of God, who would not, due to his goodness, allow us to be continually deceived by an evil demon.” (Dew, p.152) What I got from Descartes’ words was; what would be the point? God created us, he loves us; He is good, so why would he want to deceive us for our entire lives, what is the point? Plato’s concept is very similar to the creation of The Matrix. Through a dialogue, he was questioning the fact of reality. Stating that what if we were all just standing in one spot, forced to look in only one direction, the only things we saw were objects passing...
