This is something that a lot of people choose to do and there are many reason why they choose to actually do it.
Taste
Taste is a very important reason and quite often a nice juicy pizza will taste a lot better than a salad with a jacket potato. This is where the addiction and weight gain comes from. Healthy snacking is very rare because there is nothing inside of them that people can get addicted too. The things that people get addicted too is the oils and fats inside the foods itself which is why salads and healthy things to not contain it.
Sound
Some decent dish names need to be made for the salads as they sound very poor compared to the bacon fries or double bacon and mushroom cheeseburger. This is actually due to the fact that junk food has become so popular, if it was the other way around then it would be the salad that comes out sounding the best option to have.
Look
If you are looking straight down at a salad, sure there a lot of colours and textures but if you then replace it with a burger then you are going to be having a field day. Again this is because junk food was once seen as a better option to have. Of course nowadays the big companies are trying to push salads into peoples faces rather than the junk food.
Smell
Another problem is that fast food is easily recognised by the nose, Mcdonalds, KFC and Taco Bell are easily recognised by the nose a mile off, salad on the other hand, I dont think so. However there are some fantastic healthy dishes like Spaghetti Bolognese and Fish that smell simply wonderful
Is it a good thing that our senses are so involved with what we eat, would we like to ear healthier things or not. Junk food is fine to have in moderation so why not go out to an Indian restaurant.
