- Disgust is a good indicator you should not eat something, as it may be rotten or poisonous
- If a food tastes nutritious, it’s probably full of calories and you should seek to find more
- Fear activates your stress responses and tells you to flee
- The problem is that these “survival mode” emotions don’t make the distinction between perceived and real threats
