Why can't Science make a health food thats delicious

Why can't Science make a health food thats delicious?
Its seems so simple compared to everything else we've done. We went to the moon and back, we cured deadly diseases, but try and make a Tofu Burger taste like a wendy's spicy chicken sandwich and you have the entire scientific community scratching their heads. Your telling me we haven't figured out the essence of all flavor yet?

Because nothing's as good as the real thing.

One of the main ingredients in fast food is lots of salt. That makes anything taste better, but that excess salt is bad for you. No, a tofu burger is not that good. But how about sautÃ©ed tofu cubes with black bean sauce? Or, fresh vegetables sautÃ©ed with the right sauce are very good, as is a well prepared steak. Small new potatoes roasted in olive oil are great. Bottom line, well prepared food is great, and also very healthy. .

What tastes good and is good for you is fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains and nuts. They do not need to be made because they are great already. Soy sauce is fermented soy with salt, and it adds to flavor. Spices are natural. Soy has been made into many foods that are good tasting, maybe not the same as what it tries to replace but still good.

Who told you a tofu burger is healthy? Do you believe everything someone tells you? Read the reference. It includes some actual research on foods healthy for the human body, and demolishes a whole bunch of myths. What science needs to do is be honest and objective about doing its job, and not be biased by funding pressures or even peer pressure. Watch some cooking shows on TV and you'll see lots of ways to prepare basic, healthy food that tastes really good. Fat is not the villain. That honor belongs more to carbohydrates (especially refined carbohydrates), and all the bizarre chemicals some put into what they call food
