I was explaining this to my daughter in quite simplified terms the other day- we evolved to taste sugar and enjoy it because finding a sweet edible plant meant we had a source of energy to help us hunt that day. Pretty useful if you’re a hunter-gatherer.

So we seek out sugar. Now we can get it whenever we want it, in much more massive quantities than we are supposed to be processing. Most of us are addicted. I’m not an exception.

      gf is prego

      we like to get kinky anyways

      one night things get particularly saucy

      i’m sticking my noodle in her when I notice weird fucking chunks coming out, so I turn on the lights

      wtf it’s red everywhere and she’s obviously not on her period

      i look up at her, she’s got a glassy, jarred look on her face and she’s not answering

      ohshitohshitohshitohshit

      i rush her into my car and speed all the way to the hospital

      she’s still bleeding everywhere

      by the time we get there, she’s not bleeding much anymore, but all the color has drained and she looks colorless and almost transparent

      oh shit, she looks like she’s in a vegetative state

      storm into to the emergency room, cary her to the nearest doctor and explain eveything

      he takes one look at ther and says

      “sir, i’m sorry, there’s nothing we can do”

      “WHY THE FUCK NOT???”

      “we don’t operate on empty jars of spaghetti sauce”
