A misconception is that needs are what we need to live and function
A misconception is that needs are what we need to live and function and that wants are luxury items.
A need can be defined as the difference between your current and desired state. Wants are how we have learned to satisfy our needs. We need food but how do we satisfy that need?
Needs and wants are an important part of an economy. To feel fulfilled in life, you must explore what gives you joy and satisfaction. Food is no different. For some, the idea that food should be satisfying and pleasurable is a, “Well, duh,” type of statement. It might even seem silly that there are people out there who don’t want food to be satisfying, but it is actually a very common belief when it comes to food and health. The message is clear, however: it is not about how you feel, it is about sticking to the formula. We only want it more.
