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.

Saw an interesting study a few years ago on rats. They split them into 3 groups, fed one on 100% fat, the second on 100% sugar and the third on a 50/50 mixture of fat and sugar. The rats in the first 2 groups were able to regulate their calorie intake – but the third group gained significant weight. You wouldn’t tuck into a bag of sugar or a stick of butter – but mix them 50/50 with a bit of flour and you have a cake! But there’s nothing in nature that has this mix so we have no natural mechanism to limit our intake.
