Why Food Tastes Good in Autumn

Why does food taste so good in the fall? Is it because, as Jeremy Hedley suggests:

I’ve decided there has to be a reason why food and eating in general should be so pleasurable this season, and it must be because we’re being given a kind of metabolic cue — winter is coming: eat up!

A vestigial and long-buried sense of impending deprivation heightens our sense of taste, thereby encouraging us to eat and prepare ourselves for the winter.

Good theory, and definitely something to it. In my family, we always eat more at Thanksgiving than I do at Christmas.
