At that point, even if the behavior is somewhat arduous/painful, it becomes more natural for the person to continue with it than to cease. | |

Here's how I think about it: I don't know if you've ever owned a dog before, but they like people food. A lot. And the more devious members of the species will scheme quite a bit to get at it. In general, though, their only two options are dogfood or starvation. Under those conditions I'm sure that most people would also grow acclimated to the taste. | |
