I’m more referring to when a random person experiences a random craving for something they’ve had before.
Does that generally point to something you’ve had before that unknowingly satisfied a deficiency and which your body tacitly took note of?
I notice it sometimes, like
Beef = i “need” a burger (I’m a skinny dude, beef is not a common staple for me)
Fruit: i need juice or actual berries in yogurt for a smoothie or parfait
It’s indictive of a basic reward system in your brain.
But when you havent had or wanted something from a long way back…why does that craving arise?
Memories are weird. Combinations of random circumstances might cause you to remember the last time when you are the item, and how it made you feel afterwards
