Why can’t we have zero or low calorie versions of food as we do with drinks?

Why do we have to stick with “fitness” versions of food that aren’t as tasty instead of making artificial food that tastes great, makes you feel full and is not a caloric bomb?

Food is made up of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, etc. and while we can replace sugar with other sweet substances that the body doesn’t absorb/don’t have any calories, we can’t readily do so with the other components of food. And we don’t really want to… it’s one thing to pee out some aspartame, it’s another to have loose, oily shits because of modified fats the body doesn’t absorb. There were chips about 15-20 years ago that had some sort of oil that the body didn’t absorb, but then people who ate too many chips got the Olestra shits.
