Complete non-sequitur fallacy.
Just because foods are designed to taste better, does not mean they ere designed to "make us overeat".
The author of the article places a motivation which does not follow.
These sorts of foods have been available for hundreds of years... but people avoided obesity because they were expensive. They could not afford obesity.
The success of capitalism has made foods cheap... and delicious. Which is why most people overeat.
Obese people, in the past, were rich people.
Now, everyone in Western Civilization has the potential for rich people's disease.
Agreed. And for some reason, Ezekiel gets moldy right away.
Almond flour instead of wheat flour — that might work under the right conditions and preparation.
The best thing about a high-fat diet is that you feel sated. I regularly fast for at least 18 hours a day without feeling hungry.
There’s no way you can do that eating a high-carb diet.
Processed is poison.

I have seen some people do very well on Keto diets.
Others get/stay fat.

Nice par of noids you have there.
Life is not a big conspiracy. Too much randomness in the universe.
What you suggest can as easily be provided simply by working to produce the tastiest most desired food at the lowest cost.
I need a score card to keep up with all the things I need to check and apologize for.
Just because it’s tasty to some doesn’t mean it’s tasty to everyone. I had spaghetti squash for breakfast, yuuuuuum! I’ve already had to give up carby potatoes and chocolate so guess squash is on the banned list due to nothing but it was tasty. Save a squash and eat cardboard!
Like anything, you can do Keto the right way, or the wrong way. You need to eat high-quality fats, and make sure you are getting your nutrients in. Eating lots of cheese, bacon and pork rinds, isn’t going to cut it.
Dr. Berg, who has a lot of great YT videos said it best, “You get healthy to lose fat, not lose fat to get healthy”. It can take a long time to overcome Insulin Resistance, before weight starts coming off.
Ice Cream might be another food item where tons sugar is added. If you make your own, you might be able to put less sugar in it. Or check labels.
And, no the Weight Watcher’s ice cream is not ice cream. They may call it that but it isn’t.
Throw enough variables into a situation, and you can make any theory work.
I learned to cook at a very young age because mother was such a bad cook who diced everything up tiny and then boiled it to death. She’s been regulated to only bringing a salad for Thanksgiving. Ever tried a diced fruit salad with avocados? No one will touch it and it’ll be thrown out as soon as she’s not watching.
But thanks. I'll look into that book.
Corn flakes was too tasty in our house. Mother fed us plain puffed rice with prepared powdered milk and no sugar. BARFFFFFFFF!!!!
I still nearly cry when I think of a kind neighbor who would give us milk straight from her cow. Heaven. But that wasn’t until high school.
Interesting. I’ll have to find time to watch it. Off on a trip tomorrow to harvest some free range, hard to hunt, mountain grown venison. Thanks.
Sit these scientists down at a table, for 3 days, and feed them straight flat grits for 3 meals a day. No butter, cheese, shrimp, sugar or spice, nothing.
Then, they will have eaten what folks eat, who are not overpaid, underworked and over rated scientists!
Yes, “Low Fat” always has bad for you additives.
Our local school lunch ladies add sugar to their melted margarine for baked potatoes. That’s crazy.
Again read http://scalar.usc.edu/works/uiuc-food-networks/media/MichaelMoss_SaltSugarFat2013_2.1.pdf
Then get back to me with an intelligible view of addiction and pathological behavior.
Oh and a way to pronounce and understand any typical list of packaged ingredients and additives (disclosed and undisclosed)
Regular, creamy or al dente?
