I believe that it is because if they got a choice they would get the kind

that tastes better and fills you up more. Yes we all know it is not as healthy. (Ex. Most people would choose a bag of chips over a apple)

I grew up in an era where it was okay to eat junk food and not that many meals, snacks, etc were as healthy as they could've been. Some of my first memories were of me eating junk food, but I'm glad that my mom & grandmother made me eat some nutritious organic foods as well. I've recently started trying to eat more healthy snacks, meals, etc, but I found that it's really hard to eat healthy things unless it has at least a little bit of a sweet, salty, and or sour taste. I'm so used to eating yummy foods & drinks that it's very difficult to eat anything with no or little flavor, or a bad taste. When I first began to consume less processed foods(partly because it's getting harder to find comforting foods that have the strong kick that I desparately need to get the mental willingness & motivation to get through each & every depressing, stressful, tough, tiring, etc week during these hard economic times), I seemed to go through a withdrawal. Also, people who eat a lot of junk food frequently get cravings for them and have a hard time resisting temptation when unhealthy goods are present. It could be that something was put in the food to make the customers continue to come for more, an imbalance in the head, or something else. Plus, this economy, White House, etc seems to be purposefully making it impossible for some employeed people to have any free time, spend quality time with friends & family, get enough sleep, go on vacation, check off things on the wish list, do some important things that they've been putting off for a while, etc that those few workers don't have very long to go get something to eat and come back to work. For me, having my favorite fast food once a week really helps me smile again, it makes me feel good inside, it relieves stress & depression, etc. I get most of that strong powerful revitalizing kick from milkshakes. I can handle losing loved ones, places & things I love & am familar with, going through some hard times, etc; but I know that I wouldnt be able to survive without my weekly junk food & or milkshake. Sorry, I got a little carried away, but I think that answers on Wikianswers sometimes are more informative & able to relate with when theyre told in the form of stories or detailed descriptive answers.

Because the sweet or savory taste hitting the taste buds sends a pleasure signal to the brain.

People eat junk food instead of being healthy because they find junk food much more delicious than healthy food.

Feel free to edit this if you have some sort of, " scientific reason."
