Because the things that are in unhealthy foods (sugars and other chemicals) stimulate your reward senses. You get pleasure from them whereas eating lettuce doesn’t really stimulate anything. The sweeter something is, the more you feel the response and you get to craving it more and more. Kind of a vicious cycle and hard to break. Look up just how hard of a time people go through when going on a reduced/no sugar diet. It sucks at first.
