With all of the advancements made on this world, how have we not been able to make zero or low calorie amazingly tasting food like chocolate chip cookies!?!

Or as my old friend Gene use to say, “if they could make a salad taste like a cheeseburger…I’d be a thin man.”
[This](https://youtu.be/pRlcYwIGJ_w) guy has a ton of recipes for really good low calorie food. I linked his zero calorie Oreos. Commercial companies could do the same if they were convinced it was profitable. It seems like a no brainer but best we get is fat free (which often has more sugar and carbs so you have to look and see if it actually has lower enough overall calories to justify it, in some cases far free is better) and lower calorie options that are really just a smaller portion.

They did this back in the 80s and the cookies gave ya the poops.
Olestra was a fat substitute that was supposed to taste the same as butter or oil, but have nearly no calories. There was a portion of the population that couldn’t digest it and made them poop or have “oily discharge”.
They put it in a bunch of products like cookies and snacks and ooh boy did that open up the sluices for me.

The real ELI5:
Science is very complicated. So there are many different types of scientists who study different things. Advances in one field of science often don’t translate to other fields. That’s why we can put men on the moon but can’t do seemingly simple sounding things in other branches. Additionally, things are always more complicated than they sound. It sounds simple to “just create an alternative that taste goods and is healthy” but it’s not.
I bet that fats and oils are a really big part of the problem. They are all inherently calorie dense, and the ones that we cant digest lubricate our colon so well that it makes it into a waterslide.
