Highly-processed foods can be intensely rewarding, overpowering the complex mechanisms that our bodies have built in to help us balance the amount of food we eat with the amount of food we need. Food manufacturers work hard to make the foods they produce as desirable as possible. Fatty, sweet and salty attributes trick our brains and we eat more than we need. Companies even advertise that fact—you can’t eat just one, can’t get enough, and nobody can say no. These foods are processed to the point that they are no longer like anything you find in nature. To top it off, they’re in bright packages, highly accessible, priced right and ultra-convenient.
You Can’t Eat Just One!
