Why is bad food the best?

Question

Why is it healthy food is tasteless and stuff like fast food and sweets are so much more tasty? Bad food is also cheaper. Why is that?

Answer 1

cos they are loaded with cheap-to-produce artificial addictives,sweetening and flavourings. that's why they're yummy. But if we all take them once in a long while it's ok. We all like our guilty pleasures. :)

Answer 2

it has sugar, fat, and probably crack in it to make it addicting

Answer 3

LOL! I don't know why, but I know it is true. I've been on a crash course diet the past month and have such a hard time kicking the fast food that I love so much. It just tastes sooooo much better than the "healthy" c**p I try to replace it with. Could it be possible that fast food companies put something in their food to make us addicted???

Answer 4

because pure ingredients cost more to process, and fast food and junk food is processed faster and easier because they use so many by products, like junk and throw away parts

Answer 5

ok the technical reason is because our bodies have not evolved with the times..

back when food was harder to come by (thousands of years ago) people ate whatever they can find...your body would crave anything that was fatty because it is a survival tactic

more fat = longer survival without consuming food

therefore things that are fattier "taste" better because that's the way your brain makes it out to be!

in todays world, fat is not necessary because we always have access to the food that our bodies need

however our brains and bodies have not evolved from the caveman days and still use "fat" as a survival tactic...which unfortunately makes alot of people fat!
