I read something funny today (this has nothing to do with Switzerland). It was an article about why people enjoy eating spicy foods. After all, where's the benefit in eating something that causes you pain? Other than humans, there's not a single animal that eats hot peppers. There doesn't seem to be any evolutionary purpose in it.
A psychologist from Yale had this to say: "Philosophers have often looked for the defining feature of humans — language, rationality, culture and so on. I’d stick with this: Man is the only animal that likes Tabasco sauce."
