[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is really interesting. Moving beyond the 70s and 80s, I remember that for virtually every weekday lunch after I started working in the mid ‘90s I had a Yoplait yogurt, a Granny Smith apple, and a water.  I never got tired of it. My coworkers told me they knew I was pregnant before I announced it because for the first time ever, I started bringing extra food. I’ve always loved food and eating, but back then limited my explorations to the evenings and weekends.

These days I can’t imagine eating the same meal multiple times per week. Some prior posters mentioned that we have all become sensation seekers to a greater degree since personal electronics and social media came on the scene and I think that’s definitely part of it in my case.  [/quote]

I definitely struggle with eating the same thing all the time. But I think that's very normal? Our bodies crave variety because we need a variety of different nutrients and types of food in order for our bodies to work well. I could never eat yogurt, an apple, and water daily and feel fool. I'd be ravenous for dinner very single night. And I'm, if anything, underweight. Often my disinterest in eating the same foods helps me not overeat because I get tired of fatty, heavy foods as easily as I get tired of lighter foods. I couldn't eat pancakes and bacon for more than a couple days in a row, for instance -- I'd wind up craving a banana and some granola instead.[/quote]
