It's getting so much easier to discriminate between what's REALLY good and what's not all that good. I guess chewing for so long is part of that, but I also just don't like wasting meals anymore.
I'm finding this to be true as well. I used to just want/need food, didn't care if it was high quality or not. Now, I'm not even interested in crappy food. If I only get 5-10 bites at a meal, I want them to be GOOOOOOD bites!
I totally agree. Sometimes I find myself trying something, chewing and deciding its not worth it and spitting it into the trash. Gross I know, but I want every bite to be quality and count.
