        Your body forces you to, it’s called there is another brain inside your gut that food scientists target. Instead of making super foods they spend their time making food as addictive and cheap as possible.

        Ignoring this just makes you look profoundly ignorant.

            Unfortunately, these food scientists combined with corporations exist everywhere now. Perhaps you are speaking to the fact that the US has far fewer gaurdrails and a laissez faire approach to nutritional health. I think in the US a lot of this has to do with regulatory capture and greed.
