Why do we like unhealthy food so much?

Couldn’t our biological organisms just prefer the healthy food? It would give us larger chance of survival so genes preferring healthy food should be more popular.

We don’t like unhealthy food. We just like food, and now that we have access to too much food, we end up eating in excess.   

Biology has driven us to *like food* because that helps survival. Eating so called “unhealthy” doesn’t kill you before you are old enough to procreate, and biology only cares about survival of the species. What happens to you as an individual after procreation doesn’t matter. Species is still surviving.
