Why does eating food that’s bad for us bring us such great joy?
In: 5
Things like salt and sugar contain essential nutrients, and hard to come by in the wild, so our ancient ancestors developed a taste for them, which they passed on to their descendants, and learned to seek such foods out. Now that agriculture has made these things available to us in great abundance it is easy to get way more than we need, but it will take a long time for us to forget something so hard-wired into our brains.
