Due to the fact that Shia possessed a horribly muted sense of taste and smell, he could never truly enjoy the wonders of good food or smells, and so always just viewed food as simply being something needed for nourishment, and felt it was a waste of time to to put so much effort into making a meal that, to him, would never provide anything but filling his stomach.

Upon being Toonekai’d into Rose Hips, however, she would discover an actual, enhanced sense of taste and smell that caused her to feel like she as in heaven, making her realize just what she was missing all of her life as Shia. She now wanted to try all of the food she possibly can. She wanted to learn how to make better meals and experiment with things. A new world was opened up for her, and she wanted to experience it all.
