Why fast food?

Does the title look like a blog supporting fast food? Then I have to clarify that it's just a misunderstanding.

Why do we like junk food even though we know it's bad for our health? The love for healthy food remains but still, the cravings often betray the healthy diet. Have we noticed such foods are more expensive than healthy food? But still, where do our eyes and hearts go, we sure know.

This blog is not about healthy tips or the side effects of fast food but it's rather about the feeling of craving. A few days back I was craving fries so I planned to make potato fries. After eating those still the feeling of wanting the fries made in some shops didn't erase which was weird because the raw material is the same so why did this feeling continue to exist?

We all watch YouTube and often curse the advertisements that pop up in the middle of some interesting video. Some advertisements are related to food delivery tempting the viewers to buy the food. Do cravings arise from those advertisements? 

Today I saw a group of school students in front of a stall trying to gather all their money to buy something. This might look so insignificant but we can see how these things influence the children. I look back to the days when my brother fell sick due to having such oily and unhealthy food. This situation is not just for him but for a lot of people who eat these on a regular basis.

We regularly see and constantly hear about these fancy food style. The feeling of wanting arises slowly growing to need. And finally we fall for our cravings because food wins.

There is no expectations to completely stop this trend because it has become a habit that needs to be minimised before it's too late.
