So apparently, certain chemicals in natural foods such as tomatoes, have smells that smell "good" to us indicating that our bodies are naturally attracted to foods that will be healthy to eat.
Smelly Tomatoes
So naturally I, in my ever mature and notable desire to solve problems for the common good of mankind, wondered if this could also somehow explain why people generally don't mind the smell of their own farts...
Does this mean that there is some health benefit to rebreathing your own noxious fumes, or simply that it truly is unhealthy for everyone else in the elevator? Or is it simply a built in biological appreciation of a "job well done" by our digestive systems. Or maybe it's just God's way of keeping a good joke going. How are we supposed to laugh at everyone else when they are coughing and wheezing and trying to get below the cloud, if we are busy doing the same thing?
Hopefully someday we will have all the real problems solved so we can spend a little more time figuring stuff like this out.
