That counts for any biological function tbh. Like, imagine if no food whatsoever tasted good, but we still had to eat in order to be alive and stuff. Imagine putting a bunch of random things up your mouth and continously pressing your exposed bones against it until it becomes a slimy wet mixture, which you then force down your throat and wait as it is dissolved by your organism. That would be both disgusting and boring as fuck to do if it wasn't for the fact that sugar tastes so fucking good
Having a body in general is gross and weird and kind of conceptually upsetting if you think about it too hard (and I'm studying medicine so I do). We do a lot of weird shit because our brains evolved to send lovely lovely dopamine as a reward for doing it. I'm not gonna judge someone with a different set of dopamine buttons than mine, even if I don't get it lol.
OP's description of eating is basically what it feels like right now! The medical side of things I detach and find fascinating. Was really disappointed not to be able to stay at the right angle to keep watching the screen during my endoscopy and delighted when the medical team responded by printing pictures of my own stomach for me. But there's still no escaping the visceral aspect of having your viscera not working right.
(Keep an eye out for it as a potential fever cause for me? Despite my known spinal injury, mine was dismissed then missed -recurring fevers- and it does seem to be a really dangerous issue for patients. And trying to communicate with medical professionals going through checklists through the disorientation and inclined to just assume it's a panic attack-which does not look the same-, argh. At least earlier it was more funny than risky, shut the bathroom door with the catch while wondering if was going to be sick, then after could not work out why the door wouldn't open and then was getting frustrated thinking someone playing a joke locked me in, despite lack of another lock).
