Perhaps we should all ask why people want to eat cake, rather than focusing on the cake itself. These high carbohydrate foods stimulate dopamine release. People are eating their feelings, because they don’t feel good. Ultra processed foods existed before the obesity epidemic began. What changed was economic, the cost of living, and everyone’s quality of life.

Food is a readily accessible drug, and everyone is self medicating.
