Spicy Foods

 Spicy foods are the last thing I will order if I go out to eat. Are spicy foods actually spicy thought? When you eat a hot pepper or anything spicy, capsaicin the 'spice' in the pepper is what you are actually eating. When we eat capsaicin can cause our body pain and think it's in danger. So technically it's not 'spicy' our body is just trying to protect us from something dangerous.                                                                                               (“Why Does Spicy Food Taste Hot?”)
