In this interview he talks about how the brain is affected by large amounts of salt, sugar and fat. This may partially explain why it is hard for people to adjust their tastes to healthy foods. Jean

(And to make a link, highlight the web address you've pasted in your post, and then click the URL button above the post window.) Dr. Barnard's book Breaking the Food Seduction is really great on this topic also. My own struggles made sooooooo much more sense to me after reading that one!

The History channel had a show on "Beans" that was good. I just caught the end of it. The Japanese use a sweet red bean for desserts.

They made little candy-like pieces that were used as thicker filling or thinner coating. Some had a rice substance that covered the bean filling. I checked the TV guide and didn't see it listed this week. They usually repeat stories on the History channel.

They can get pretty interesting. The first time I bought one, I thought it was a cup of black-eyed peas and rice to go with my sandwich. The girl at the counter asked if I wanted coconut milk with it. I thought, weird, but said sure, go ahead. When I got back to campus I discovered that the rice was really little jellies and my $1 side dish was a dessert. Another place by my office usually has some "bean puddings" that are really more like a sweet drink with beans and stuff floating in it. Since they name them by color and don't speak English super-well, I don't know what the varieties really are.
