It comes down to a rather Pavlovian response that is anticipated by advertising and the stimuli that the food industry creates and we all food. The sugars, additives and scientifically designed flavorings tend to increase cravings and form an addition which then, of course, yields the desired PROFITS. Who cares if it affects your health when the corporate charter puts shareholder's stock values above any other factor?

What we face, if we want to avoid chronic disease or reverse it is addiction, plain and simple. The changes required are going to go right up against the preferences that have been drilled into you by the culture itself and the prevailing, manufactured attitudes. Like any addict, the change that needs to be made is a form of rehab that takes time and persistence to achieve until the new behaviors become a new, more beneficial habit. Meanwhile, the people and messages and availability of certain foods is like hanging around with pushers while you are trying to kick.
