Will you have fries, popcorn, or insects with your burger? Never thought of it that way, yet the question remains. Vegetable, vegetable, or protein with that protein. Think I’ll have the fries.
I think we like the french fries with the meat because we crave the crunch and the protein. If we just ate crunchy insects like locusts/grasshoppers, we would have crunch and protein. We are genetically programed to like this nutritious combination.
