Thank you for this link! It is absolutely riveting. Eg:

Big Mac
Neuro-notes. While the subtlety of cabernet, truffles, and haute cuisine
is processed by higher brain centers, capable of culinary learning, the
primary tastes of fast food are handled subcortically a. in the
thalamus, and b. in a buried part of the cerebral cortex called the
insula (which is emotionally linked to the amygdala and limbic system).
Like primary colors, the basic bitter, salty, sour, and sweet tastes of
fast-food coffee, fries, pickles, and soda make brash rather than subtle
statements
See also COCA-COLAR.
