But to narrow down, shrinks dream of some like sweetener or artificial coloring they can add to all the shit the give someone to make it taste good. A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down! No it doesn't. It tastes bad because it's poison. That is the point of taste. And the best medicine tastes really good, Paltomiel, aspirin doesn't taste particularly bad, there's another one but it doesn't taste bad just really bitter, ah...alkaloids taste uh...well they reconfigure your notion of sweet=good bitter=bad, then there's dex, blood sugar, now sugar tastes like treacle. But the whole thing of medicine tasting bad is just like toothpaste tasting bad (sodium flouride), it tastes bad because it is bad for you, you should avoid it, get a toothpaste that doesn't have fluoride in it. Of course little children have no way of stopping their parents from forcing them to use this toothpaste, so they complain. And the parents say no complaints, backed by violence. Coercion.

To the shrinks that said that to me, I say, you take all the shit since it tastes so good, give me your pay for doing your job for you, and yeah the seasoning...you'll need it.
