It's true. We're psychologically hooked on food that is terrible for us, and the food industry exploits us. But ultimately, the people have to want to change. After I turned thirty, I lost some of my super-metabolism I had enjoyed previously and gained twenty pounds. After a few years of this, I got tired of getting slightly winded going up stairs and watching my stomach grow, so I've been exercising and trying to eat better. The eating better period took quite a while to adjust to. I do love fruits and such, but it was hard just giving up junk food cold turkey. It's been a while since I started and I have just about stop eating crap entirely.
My point is, and I can't believe I'm actually going to say this, you are totally right, Daniel. Much of the population's brains are hooked on shitty food. I think some people deny this, however, because it makes them feel less in control about their eating habits and their life in general, and the desire to feel in control can be powerful.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
