We evolved in a way that we really like calorie dense food. In the past that was a feature. The modern world by itself isn’t harmful. But human demand will ( and in the us has) shift supermarket offerings away from what we evolved with and towards what our brain rewards. It’s subconscious, and no one is really to blame. Some people with a more conscious approach are less affected, the rest just follows instinct.
Whole grain rye bread is very calorie dense. But many US people eat white toast- so full of fructose syrup it tastes more like cake than bread - instead.
It’s not the calorie density. It’s choosing to eat garbage.
