Over the past 70 years, in the agriculture and livestock industry in the United States, "importance of crop yield", "resistance to pest damage" "appearance" is emphasized, "taste" has been regarded as secondary. For example, at Chicken's Today, a chicken meal evaluation meeting held in the 1940's, "uniformity of meat size", "volume of breast meat", "egg hatching rate" and "efficiency of feeding" were evaluated It was a subject, "taste of meat" was not important. According to the statistics of 2013, if human beings were brought up like chicken to be sent to Chicken of Today, "As a baby weighing 3 kg grows to 300 kg in only two months", chickens suddenly lose weight It was raised to increase.

Inexpensive meat that sacrificed taste like this will begin to be sold in large quantities in the supermarket after the 1940 's. In addition, agricultural crops such as tomatoes, strawberries, broccoli, wheat, and corn have been grown in the same way with the emphasis on "size" "speed of growth" "resistance" "whether to last longer" "looks" It was. Mr. Schatzker says in his book "The taste of food is what is nutritious", for example included in seafoodOmega-3 fatty acid, And nutritional components such as essential amino acids contained in tomato have a peculiar taste. When we eat food, we associate the taste of food with the change of the body after eating, and memorize it, but these memories are fed back to digestive organs, so people need it I supply nutrition.

In 1926, a study conducted by Clara Davis, a pediatrician in Chicago, aimed at 15 children nursed as a foster child who had never had ordinary meals since childhood, "vegetables And I will eat whatever you like from thirty-four kinds of foods such as fruits, meat, fish, etc. "for six years. Children gradually learned the taste of food, it seems that the body voluntarily became able to take a balanced diet by unconsciously associating with taste and nutrition. In addition, some children eat lever and orange juice for breakfast,ricketsThe child who was drinking liver oil by the treatment continued drinking liver oil even after treatment, and said that he had taken a slightly different meal from the general eating habits.

In order to connect and taste food taste and nutrition, it is necessary to take natural food naturally. In other words, if you use synthetic flavors you can flavor tasty food, but in exchange for the taste, you lose the benefit of eating raw food as it is to learn taste and nutrition. By losing the raw taste and ingesting artificial flavors, the biological dietary basis and changes in appetite will be lost. For example I tasted like spices to tortilla chipsDritos chipsBy eating, it seems that the taste of the material is not understood and the taste disorder occurs. Also, it can be said that rap salad with caesar dressing, spare ribs with maple syrup taste, etc. have diluted the taste of vegetables and meat.

As a countermeasure to the "Dorito effect", Mr. Schatzker proposes "to review agriculture and livestock industry methods instead of returning to only natural foods without artificial fragrance" in his book . Schatzker advocates a breeding and cultivation method with emphasis on the original taste of meat and vegetables as "it is not essential to reduce agricultural chemicals for pest control and to extend the expiration date".
