Anyone know because many people cite the ambience to diseased food instead of full of health foods? It is kind of bizarre yet which often all the great food which ambience improved to humans is many expected starting to be diseased food as well as all the full of health kind of food ambience bad to many people.

because it taste better and it’s high calories. in a survival point of view, high calorie food is always better because it’s more energy. that’s why we develop issues with unhealthy foods.
I think a lot of it has to do with external influences such as TV, magazines, movies, and even just our parents. On TV, we have the cookie monster, not the veggie monster. kids in tv shows hate broccoli, not chocolate. kids in commercials eat fruit roll ups, not apples. same thing in so many books too. it’s like we’re expected to hate healthy food, or because ‘everyone else’ hates them, it’s this subconscious influence to hate healthy food as well.
then there’s the whole ‘wanting what we can’t have’ thing. we can’t have desert until we finish dinner. we can’t eat too many chips or we’ll get fat. And then the way unhealthy food is used. as a reward for good grades we go out for ice cream, not a fruit bowl or something healthy.
i believe it’s just our lifestyle, the way we were raised and all. but i believe we’re not hardwired to liking unhealthy food over healthy food, i believe it’s more of a social habit. i personally love healthy food, i feel so much more energised when i eat homemade and healthy food with lots of veggies. i feel better about myself when i eat healthy, but i also think it’s important not to feel like a bad person for eating unhealthy food. moderation is key.
