Guden Oden said:Apart from what has been said on the subject, at least Thai food has a LOT of vegetable ingredients that act filling (fiber n stuff). On the other hand, there's also chili in thai food (and typically quite a bit of it too, heh!), which I believe I read stimulates the appetite. So in the end, who the hell knows how it really works?
Very simple, if it makes you feel good you'll want more of it. Tasty == feel good, so what's the question about in the first place? It's all just electro-chemical stimulation of certain nerves.
