Why are humans so attracted to unhealthy food?

Asked by AstroChuck (37609points) October 11th, 2008

Most animals know to stay away from food that is hazardous to them. But we seem to love food with high fat and sugar content. Shouldn’t our children naturally crave broccoli and okra? I mean, even children who are brought up with healthy diets often slide into unhealthy eating habits as they get older.
