Why do we as humans enjoy unhealthy food more than healthy food?
In: 2
We actually enjoy both. It’s just that before civilization, as hunter-gatherers, we were unlikely to get too much of the unhealthy foods. Today, in most societies, there’s no natural brake on our appetites.
With healthy foods, that’s okay. It’s hard to eat too many green vegetables, for example. But, with foods that are unhealthy in excess, the fact that we can easily eat to excess is problem.
