If you spend too much time eating junk food it creates an appetite for healthy food. If you read only trashy magazines it creates an appetite for literature. If you see too much crass unjust disgusting undemocratic political behavior it creates an appetite for peaceful revolution

"If you spend too much time eating junk food it creates an appetite for healthy food." Ummm, that's demonstrably false. The opposite is true. Millions of dollars are spent to made junk food that keeps you eating junk food. I like your approach, but that's just wrong.

Not me. If I’ve been eating candy bars for too long all I want is broccoli.

You may be an outlier. Heh.

That is simply not true or how the human brain is wired, in general. This might be true for you, and maybe a minority of other humans. But to say this is a generalized fact is scientifically wrong.

You are so lucky, Marianne. =( Those are not my eating habits or the way my body works at all.

Sure, me too. But we're definitely in a tiny minority. Otherwise broccoli would be exploding off the shelves. What's exploding off the shelf is junk food and alcohol, because they are both addictive. I'm a Californian too...most people in the country aren't.
