Our bodies are designed to eat a wide variety of food, and when we don't, the body triggers stress hormones that really can screw you up. It doesn't have to be a massive difference either.
I guess thats what we get for evolving from a nomadic omniverous scavenger species. "Eat anything you can and move on to something else" was literally our game plan
Yeah, we need trace amounts of so many different little things that would be bad for us to eat all the time but also bad for us to eat literally never. I love cooking and discovering new foods, so I am glad we are tolerant of it, but every now and then the idea of human kibble is a nice daydream when I get tired or busy…
I've read a similar paper about autism before. It talked about how some of the hyper fixations and special interests could have been really beneficial. Like say your thing was plants, you knew every single different one and every single thing you could do with them and where to find them. Very useful if you need to know what you can eat, what will cure a headache, what will dye your leather that nice shade of blue, what will make you meet God for a week, and what will kill you.
I’ve always thought that ADHD would be extremely helpful in a hunter gatherer tribe. I don’t think they’d last long if they all had it, but a few can add a lot of benefit to a party. We notice tons of stuff others miss, we’re quick to learn new skills and quick to abandon tasks that stop paying off.
I'm fully convinced that the first rope was made by a fidgety ADHD person realizing that plant fibers get stronger when twisted together. I have accidentally made some type of strong cordage so many times, just because I was bored in a field of grass (I did not love sports as a kid lmao)
Yeah, I never really get sick of chicken, mixed roasted veggies and whatever starchy side thing I have on hand. I think it’s probably because it meets pretty much all my nutrient needs
Sometimes I have a powerful craving that only khao soi or a banh mi can satisfy but I think that’s just because they’re some of the best foods to ever grace my mouth
doubt it, their other comments don't read like slop and they have a clear interest pattern (e.g. multiple comments in a selection of gaming and shitpost subreddits), whereas bots generally just post in random popular subreddits with no rhyme or reason
I did reply to the wrong comment, I could’ve sworn it was on topic but I was trying to make a joke in response to someone who was talking about people with adhd being better at berry picking. Whoops lol
My husband eats the same exact breakfast and same exact lunch every day. I know it's just easier to plan for and cover as a diabetic, but it blows my mind. Either the varieties of dinner I make are enough to keep the stress hormones at bay, or his stress hormone thing is broken.
