Mashed Cauliflower (the desirable substitute of a classic)
As America's obesity epidemic worsens, people are finding healthy lifestyles and diets more and more useful as it is universally desirable not to be obese. However, the battle becomes that of conflicting desires: 1) the desire to be thin, and 2) the desire for good tasting (often fattening) foods. One of these is mashed potatoes, a simple dish that can be artery clogging. Eating mashed potatoes satisfies the desire to eat tasty food but fails to fulfill the desire to be thin. Thus, a food that is truly desirable is something that can satisfy the taste as well as the health aspects. This is what makes mashed cauliflower desirable. Its taste, when mashed and combined with some milk, mimics almost exactly the taste of mashed potatoes. However, there is no guilt in eating such a treat. Therefore, this is desirable because it catered to more than one of people's desires.
