[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why majority if humans still consume such stuff when science has proven why we shouldn't?[/quote]

Because they taste good, because some processed foods are deliberately engineered to have addicting qualities, and because most humans don’t have access to affordable options.  I would happily live on a diet of fresh peaches and other fresh fruit, fresh veggies — especially lettuce, and fresh seafood.  I can’t afford it. And truly fresh seafood — as opposed to frozen — is almost impossible to find.

I’ll add, too, that “science” changes over time and we do a horrible job of communicating “science” as it changes to most people in useful ways.  I actually had a decent, sustainable diet in my mid twenties, but I gained a few pounds. I saved up enough money to pay for one (and only one) visit to a nutritionist— who told me that I needed to force myself to both eat breakfast every day and to add more carbs “like bagels” to my daily diet.  I, indeed, forced myself to comply with these directives— with predictable results by today’s fairly well-known standards.
