My philosophy has been "if you eat something for 4 months, you will like it"

It was something I discovered by doing thruhikes, eating the most protein and calorie dense light foods on the shelf of whatever tiny town I hitchhiked into and drinking fresh spring water every day. Now soda tastes terrible to me compared to ice cold spring water with balanced minerals and I can appreciate the texture and earthy flavor of unflavored and unsalted lentils.
