Do we eat sweets after a meal to stave off fatigue that comes from eating a large meal? i love to bake all the time its my thing penis

I don't think that "Dessert" really belongs in the "Meal" series.

Often, the dessert is seen as a separate meal or snack rather than a course, and may be eaten some time after the meal

Occasionally, perhaps, but I dispute the use of the word "often". -- Picapica 22:12, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

yeah, I definitely disagree with it being in the "meal" series. I live in Colorado, and it would never ever be considered a meal around here. Granted, you have have sweets separately from anything else, but when you do, its a snack rather than a meal. Perhaps the meal idea is regional. If so, it should be noted, otherwise I'll consider removing it as a part of the "meal" series. Carl.bunderson 01:55, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Before a meal

Do any cultures do dessert before a meal? -Rolypolyman 21:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I've heard that eating sweets first is common in ayurveda practices, but I'm curious to know if that's true. --Twyspy 04:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I've actually heard dentists recommend eating dessert first, before a meal. Mastication during the meal will help get the sugar off your teeth.--DrCorrection 02:10, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deseret

I removed the sentence "One of the earliest known sweet foods is honey - the work product of Deseret, the Honey Bee." While the fact may be true, given that this appears to be a random act of Mormonism (see Deseret), I'd like to see a citation. I suspect there is some folk etymology at work here, given the similarity of the words "Deseret" and "desert".

Oops. Above comment is mine.

My edit was reverted with comment: (adding back honey reference, with {{Fact}} template, you should do that rather than immediately removing the information, also possibly removing vandalism by IP)

OK, but I have removed the mention of "Deseret, the honey bee." I don't think that the fact that honey comes from bees or that the LDS scriptures claim that "deseret" is a word for honeybee has any bearing on the article.

Apoologies for me somewhat snarky talkpage comment above; it was in poor taste.
