Food tastes better if you work harder for it. That's according to a study conducted by Johns Hopkins University researchers, highlighted in an article in the Hartford Courant.
"That's the finding of a team of researchers at
Johns Hopkins University.
Their experiment focused on two groups of mice. One group had to push a
lever once to get a morsel of food. The other had to push the lever 15
times before getting their reward � a morsel of the same kind of food.The mice that worked harder ate more of the food and seemed to enjoy it more (based on their 'licking behavior')."
