So do you think your body "knows" when it's needing certain nutrients? Obviously you know when your thirsty, so on some level it does. But I will sometimes want a specific random food like radishes. Not talking about that feeling you get when you say to yourself "I want Mexican tonight, etc." but when you crave a very specific thing.

I don't see how any of that applies to a guy who has an occasional craving for radishes or say, grapes but OK user thanks for playing today

There's plenty of reason to think you suddenly have a taste for foods containing nutrients you're in need of. But I don't think this system operates well in a world of artificial flavors that trick your sense of taste.

>but when you crave a very specific thing.

I've had very specific food cravings before, but I doubt it had anything to do with nutrition in my case. I eat a vary varied diet. I get plenty of fruits, vegetables, legumes, etc and I take a multivitamin/mineral tablet daily. I very rarely eat junk food or fast food. I can't claim my diet is perfect but I seriously doubt I'm missing any critical nutrients.

"My body craves for me to put synthetic chemicals into it."

I really hope you're joking. You sound dumb as a rock.

What synthetic chemicals? Only thing I mentioned by name was radishes

"Nutrients"
You directly referenced the synthetic chemicals that have only existed for 70 years of human history. You do not need to eat synthetic chemicals to survive.
Ain your discussion towards naturally occurring versions of vitamins and I will most likely shut up and leave.
There is a huge difference between the two and I need you to understand how dangerous the synthetic versions are.

hoooo boy

Somebody hit the hooch early today
