    need a variety of food to survive?

    It’s not true.

    Boredom feels terrible while it lasts, but it doesn’t kill you. In the end, humans usually start to get creative after boredom.

    Oh, and yes, some food industry has found out things and told you things… yes, they were creative :-)

      I suppose that’s why we added mild pain to our diet. Mix things up a bit.

      What about the British? They were starving, and they didn’t get creative. They just kept eating brown goo for centuries.

        I like British food. I live in Germany again and if I see another Maultasche I’m going to scream.

        I had heard that British cuisine was much more robust before WW1.

        Also, if brown goo is meat-flavored, I’d be down for it.

          Got a recipe book for the British working class that was written in the 1800s, even that has curry in it.

          It is brown goo flavored, and you will eat it until you are completely brainwashed into liking it.
