What is it that makes junk food addicting?


Is it simply the taste, or is it additives, or what not?

Fat and sugars. The human body is programmed to like these because in the hunter/gatherer days they were great sources of energy. Now this instinct just causes us to get overweight because we aren't short of food in industrial societies.

sugar, fat, & salt

it's the sugar. if there was no sugar in it, it would taste like total crap! (literally)

the SUGAR AND PERSERVATIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEY WILL GET YOU EVERYTIME ESPECIALLY CHINESE FOOD AND CHOCOLATE

There is a lot of sugar in colas and sweets, and fast food is full of fat and salt - and provides instant gratification which I think is the major problem. Fast food places on every corner is relatively recent phenomenon and eating "out" is now a normal daily thing for most people. A big part of the addiction is the ease and speed that we are able to stuff our faces!!!
