The five senses

I think I could do very well without taste.

I think it's harder when you lower it down to just either: Hearing or Sight. I think picking between those are more difficult. I even have trouble picking between them. It can be compared to, never seeing the one you love again, or never hearing their voice again. And that all just makes me sad.

me too smell. Acutally I`ve been thinking about that on some boring afternnoons. I just know that it would be horrible to get blind and deaf that would be horrible!

for one sence the one I need the most is hearing. Music is too important for me

I would say smell, but I'm not sure that not being able to smell allergens would really do anything for my allergies since it's the chemical properties I'm allergic to. Perhaps taste... then I wouldn't overeat. LOL

Taste.

Actually the taste senses only four (according to a roommate of mine, a fifth one has been found recently) tastes, sour, sweet, bitter and salty. All the rest is the smell. I think smell is so much more important than taste, you can smell the food even tho you can't taste it, but you can't taste it really if you can't smell it. Plus all the other smells, the sea, grass, snow, my loved one I wouldn't want to lose that.

I would put it down to smell or taste. If i lost taste, then i could eat all of the good food without the bad taste, most vegetables are tasteless anyway. It would mean i wouldn't enjoy eating the fattening foods as much but its better than being blind or deaf.

yeah there has been a fifth 'sensor' discovered in the mouth recently- its sensitive to monosodiumglutamate (MSG) - this chemical is naturallyfound in meat predominantly, and is mainly found as an addition to chinese food.

useless knowledge girl strikes again...
