WHY DO PEOPLE EAT JUNK FOOD KNOWING ITS BAD!?!
with their meals
Seriously dont give me the addicting/cheap bullshit, why does everyone know its bad but still eats it
Answers:
That's actually not a bad question... I've looked at it alot when I became raw vegan...
My mother, an over-weight (not clinically, quite so) individual says its simply because it tastes good. Its like pot: Too damn good to stop. You can if you really want to get off of it, but that good feeling is just to hard to let go of.
My mother deals with a stressful life, so she looks for comfort, seeing she can't talk to the only other adult in the house, him being so bias and biggoted.
Reasons for eating junk could also be that our minds aren't used to good foods. Like raw veganism, like I said, I became one at the beggining of the summer. I delt with craving of chocolate cake, lemon bread, bagles... because even though they has little nutrition, they had at least one of what my body wanted. It did not want the over load of fat and carbs, but it wanted something in there! Our bodies are adjust to that kind of food. It "needs it" to survive.
I've learned we can be reprogrammed in our eating patterns, but its damn hard to get it right!
Went from a fat junk eater, to a healthy eater, to a vegetarian, to a vegan, to a raw vegan. :)
It has sugar and salt, which most people really like to have. Many people don't know what is really in what they're eating. Some people are poor, and don't have enough money to buy food from stores, so they go to fast food restaurants. Some people have eating disorders and have been told that they were too skinny by someone, so they eat and eat and eat as much junk food as they can. Also, in many cases, depression causes the overreating of junk food. By the way, not all fat people eat junk food. It just goes down their throat and right to their thighs.
Same reason people will smoke, drink hard liquor, do drugs, or sky dive.
They like it. It IS addicting. And it is something cheap and-- more importantly-- readily and conveniently available.
Also, it crept into the American diet at first people thought convenience foods were good; so they were hooked on them and fed them to their kids. It's really hard to change major habits like the way you eat. I mean, these habits are ingrained deeply from the start and continuously reinforced by your family, friends and even thrown in your face everywhere by companies who hire highly effective advertising and marketing specialists to make you want it.
Plus, the human animal is like any other animal-- innately, our brains program us to want what is fast and easy and tasty. If you throw pride of lions a big box of McDonalds cheesburgers on one side and let loose a deer on the other, they'd go for the burgers, too. Unfortunately, these instincts no longer serve us in our society, but they have not caught up yet with our technological advancements and changing circumstances.
It's really quite complex.
its addictive,i dont think its sh*t, i think thats a fact of our soceity
thats what the makers want, and thats why we cant stop eating it when we do, we want more and more, is got littel to no nutrients, yet we want more, they are filling it up with things that make your body think it wants more, when really, it actually doesnt
people are saying its 'sooo goood' but in effect, if you taste real good food, you know the difference, its really not that good, they just put taste enhanser in to fool your body to think it is good
that and we do tend to have a love of all things that are bad for us, probably to do with our curious nature
Junk food in small quantities is not going to be detrimental to your health or make you overweight, and it tastes good. I enjoy eating some unhealthy foods, and the pleasure I get from eating it probably outweighs any harm it will do to me.
Because its quick, easy, cheap, its everywhere, and most people think it tastes good.
Why do people have sex even when they know they can get pregnant/get STDs?

Probably because they grew up eating junk food and they like the taste or they don't care about their health
