eli5 Why healthy food isn’t as good as fast food?
In: Other
The main reason is that people have evolved over time to enjoy higher calorie foods, which are high in sugar, fat, and/or protein. This comes from when we were hunters-gatherers, which was the case up until about 12,000 years ago. It’s much more efficient to gather and eat sweet, sugary berries than leaves with almost zero calories.
