If we are what we eat, why do we eat the foods that are bad for us?
From french fries to colas, we love to consume whatever is fast, on-the-go food, forgetting about our health until we have a problem such as weight gain or food related alergies. Since we know these foods are so bad for us, has anyone considered their diet to be anything other than eating until we are full of whatever is available. Why is it when someone reaches the age of about 13 or 14, they have considered going on a "diet" for whatever reason. Diets should be thought of as the healthy consumption of food into our bodies that give us the necessary nutrients to maintain a healthy life style with enough energy to burn during work or play, not as a weight-loss program to go on whenever we need to shed a few extra pounds after binging on fries and colas for two of our daily three meals.

I think the body gets used to the fat or the sugar and even mentally causes cravings. U have to withdraw. After that food tastes better and better. Good luck.

Because they taste so good and are convenient. I have started eating healthier and limiting fast foods since I was diagnosed as a diabetic.

Because you like them!! Most of us eat them until our doctor tells us we need to start living a healthier life style. Then you either change your eating habits or start paying big medical and drug bills.
