How not to think about immediate dietary and postingestional influences on appetites and satieties.

Palatabilities and also satieties are assumption-loaded abstractions from the observable momentary causal relationships between eating or drinking and the situations in which it occurs. Palatability is neither in the food nor in the ingestive movements. Relative preference can vary with context, contrary to the usual concept of stable palatability. Satieties exemplify this, for they can be food-specific, i.e. ingestion-induced suppression of appetite may alter the supposed palatability hierarchy.
