Why are bad foods so tasty and lovely?!
Answers: Why are all good foods like lettuce etc boring???
Because we're wired to like fat and sugar - high calorie foods. If we were living in the wild we'd have more chance of surviving if we picked the higher calorie food.
Our society has evolved, but we haven't and this taste for fat and sugar isn't necessary any more.
because you think they are bad because they are adictive
e.g alcohol
This is whats called the law of s*d.
Because they are so healthy. You can make healthy foods non boring by using items that are fat free or using sauces and dressings that are healthy with a sweetened base to it. It doesn't have to be nasty for it to be healthy. That is why there are so many overweight people they think that all healthy food is nasty.
It's called Murphy's law lol
It's the sugar and the fat that we are attracted to in bad foods. In order to spice up healthier foods, you can trick yourself and use low-fat substitutes to add some flavor.
I've never considered such nonsense..
you do not say what is BAD..
just boring...
But that is your fault
just a dash of salt MIGHT change your mind
OH well forget that...
Happy New Year ...?

We evolved these traits in past times, before farming was invented, and so food was much rarer. Finding a good energy source ( fats, sugars, etc ) had a distinct survival advantage, and so reward pathways evolved to make these pleasurable. The body also evolved to store these, which wasn't a problem at the time because nobody could get enough to become overweight.
Nowadays, food our bodies store is cheap and plentiful, so they appear to be "bad", because it's very easy to have too much. And there's not much of an evolutionary pressure to store less ( most people can reproduce before the burgers give them a heart attack ).
"Good" foods seem boring because there is less of a reward mechanism in the brain for it. It just requires a little more effort in the preparation to make it enjoyable.
Because you are told they are "bad" and that makes them more appealing - everyone likes to be a little naughty. Consider this - if you were kept from fruits and veggies you would begin to crave them more than donuts and other fatty foods(they have done studies). This stems from the fact that the body will eventually crave what it needs more than what it wants. People who have never had a good deal of fruits and veggies when presented them find them amazing and delicious. In the USA we are so spoiled as to have all foods at our disposal all year round so we "spoil" ourselves with fatty foods (like Twinkies).
If you find fruits and veggies unappetizing or "boring" try integrating them in creative ways like cut apples and top them with cheese whiz or caramel sauce (a little good and little naughty) or when you have a salad toss in caramelized walnuts - by changing up your fruit and vegetables to the sweet flavors you crave you do both your mind and your psyche a lot of good.
i agree if anyone asks me "is this healthy" and i say does it taste good? if so its probably not
Bad foods are yummy and good and have sugar, ergo they are addictive.
Because of the Grease and Sugars
We are programmed to crave fattening foods so that our bodies can store the fat against hard times. This goes back to the dawn of humanity and further in other species to the beginning of life on earth.
We are not going to be suddenly free from this primeval need simply because for the last few years some of us have been able to eat ourselves to death!
