Many foods are designed to make you want to keep eating them. If you have cookies in the house you will probably eat them, or at least I will, if you have something healthy that takes effort to make you'll probably eat a serving and move on.
Too many calories might be bad no matter what the source is, but some foods seem to make people want to eat more of them than others... and some foods have negative effects even aside from weight. They seem pretty sure even lots of stuff that's totally natural isn't that healthy...
The thing that I would really like to understand is why social media and internet addiction doesn't make us eat less.
I would expect the American diet to be a lot healthier now that phones exist, because we all look at screens all day, you would think we would just eat exactly enough to not be hungry, and maybe a little more as a social thing, and otherwise maybe even forget to eat half the time, like people do when engrossed in a book or a project?
Why can't tech fill our pointless dopamine seeking needs just as well as eating crap? Shouldn't intermittent fasting be kind of automatic now?
Perhaps one might expect us to even have healthy meals more just to show off on Instagram.
Instead we scroll while we eat, and we even doordash now, from what I hear.
It almost seems like the scrolling makes it worse!
