Why do we as humans enjoy unhealthy food more than healthy food?
In: 2
Our bodies are designed to use fats or sugars (carbohydrates) as fuel. We have evolved to have taste buds that reward us seeking out these kinds of foods because our body needs them. This has then been hijacked by our systems of commercial civilisation so that the amounts and kinds of carbs/fats don’t stem from those “natural” resources and are “refined” or “processed” into something far more potent, foreign, and, therefore, harder for your body to efficiently deal with.
So fats and sugars are tasty because your body needs them most for the easy access to energy.
