Obesity is a fatal addiction. I half wonder if its promoted as "healthy" because its a slow addictive suicide that reduces population and increases corporate profits in the middle through multiplied food and medical expense - especially if it comes with a monthly diabetes insurance bill.
We are fighting against food scientists that figured out a way to hit our dopamine receptors the right way, it was designed to be addictive . So you're right about it being a fatal addiction. These predigested/processed foods ingredients need to be looked into.
I can simplify a lot of it. Sugar and salt. Both of those ingredients are the primary drivers of the effect you're talking about. The other ingredients people tend to fixate on are often red herrings in this discussion. If you dig in depth, they have long track records of use and few if any reports of any harm being attributed to them. Lots of conspiracies, not a lot of hard scientific data. But with sugar and salt, the data on triggering the reward centers of the brain is crystal clear - and we all know it. We can taste the difference, which is why companies market test their food to include it, and why we, as consumers eagerly buy it.
Yes, obesity is a health issue.
