Author	Topic: Instinctive eating

I have noticed that my sense of smell has improved, as well as my sense of taste. I sometimes I eating cooked things, mostly out of habit, or things that I used to like. But, when I start to eat them, the texture and taste of the food starts to seem 'weird'. For one thing bread, muffins and grains are often dry and really unappealing after one hasn't eaten them for awhile. I have exerienced my throat closing by itself, as to prevent the grain going down. Grilled food smells and tastes like cigarette smoke, mixed with a weird tin or metallic taste. I suppose that if one is raised eating these things, you won't taste them, or find the taste offensive. How long does it take for a person to start eating instinctively the right foods? Is there even anything too instinctive eating?
