I thought this looked like an interesting study . It shows how different people are either hyper or hypo-sensitive to fat intake. From the abstract:
"Hyposensitive subjects consumed significantly more energy, fat, saturated fat, fatty foods (butter, meat, dairy), had greater BMI and were less perceptive of small changes in the fat content of custard (all P < 0.05), compared to hypersensitive subjects."
"An inability to perceive low concentrations of fatty acids in foods was associated with greater consumption of fatty foods, specifically butter, meat, dairy, and increasing BMI."
My guess is a constant supply of high-fat food (like fast food) may dull the taste receptors for fat in some people.
