yeah i think so.. if you worked at a fast food restaurant and smell fries all day then go home smelling like it for months you may not want to buy the food you sell.. i know if i smell cooked food such as fish or liver i will almost throw up

It depends for me. When I smell food not me cooking then it increases my hunger but when I do the cooking in large quantities like there's a party I sometimes lose my appetite. But it is not really in the smelling of the food but when I do taste test again and again that's the time that I don't like to eat anymore. But again I just wait for a few minutes and then I can really dig in to my cooking LOL

I agree with you. When I smell the food, I can't stop eager to taste it even when I am not hungry yet.

I do not know who these people are, but I am not one of them that's for sure. I will smell food and I am hungry I will want to eat, I need to make a conscious decision not to let it affect me and it won't.

I sometimes lose my apetite after having preapred a cooked meal as I have been in the kitchen for some time. But it is not permamanent as when I tuck in, I have no squeamish feelings :-)
