Question

Why do we always tend to eat food that is calorie dense?

In: 3

Answer 1

Because we still have some instincts from our primitive era regarding food. Calorie dense food is well, dense in calories. Calories were hard to come by in our primitive era, and anything with a ton of them will instinctually taste good to us.

Think of wild animals and human food (calorie dense food), they love our heavily processed food, because the calories are so dense and accessible.
