What makes people want to eat fried foods and barbecue? Is it taste or smell?
Well, my theory is that people want to eat because of the flavour of fried foods and such.

Just so you know, flavour is the combination of taste and smell. So what if you take the smell out of the flavour?

Let me tell you one time when I was 15 that my mom was cleaning the kitchen with bleach and I was hungry. So, I made some toast and ate it. The thing was that my toast tasted differently... It tasted like bleach, because the bleach was so strong and it felt like I was eating bleach. It made me not eat toast for a week. I also remember one time when I once smelled cold french fries and I didn't eat french fries for a month or two.

So, my theory is could it be possible to stop obesity by imposing a different smell to the fried goods?

If my theory is correct then we could solve eating disorders that relate to how much not to eat and how much we should eat.

Here is a good example, what if you were to smell sausages, hamburgers and steaks. Then add the smell of liver over all of that food. Would you eat more or less?

im sure mcdonalds would willingly make their food smell like shit so people would stop eating it. (oh wait)

So what about the skinny people and everyone else. Think they'll keep eating just as much if the food tastes really bad?

Plus there are a number of causes of obesity besides eating too much. If you eat just the right amount but are super sedentary you are going to get fat. There is also research going on that suggests that there could be brain imbalances, viruses, and various chemicals that people are exposed to that contribute to weight.

Pretty sure I don't want my food smelling like poo, but thanks for the idea.

I don't know if it occurred to you, but maybe it isn't how the food smells, but what people are eating?

People do this to themselves... The food isn't to blame, people have a choice, just little self control. If you don't have the will to look good, maybe you don't deserve to? Just my two cents.

It's a way of life, not food.

Good luck making companies start doing that.

You are what you eat. Other people shouldn't have to suffer because of you.

Though i'm all for making bad smelling food smell nice.

What about people that have blocked nose or can't detect smells otherwise?

Tyler you have man titties.

To the OP - it's your fault that you're fat. Deal with it, grow up, and start eating salads and exercising.

Change the law to cap all fast food door widths, then obesity will be gone by next generation.

Hurts the fatties but we can has our cheeseburgers in peace, and smelling good too!

It can become an addiction. Depending on the person, weight, and other factors. Nuff said.

Junato · May 03, 2009, 10:53 PM // 22:53

You are assuming I am fat. Oh the woes of assumptions... You know how the saying goes. You'll make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'.

I got this theory from the show the nature of things.
