Some foods offer more or less nutrition than others. We shouldn’t think of food as “bad” or “good,” but we should understand it better to make choices in a twisted system.
Found your essay through Freddie deBoer’s newsletter, and so glad I did. Excellent run down! This describes a lot of my experience until I, too, got away from hyperpalatable foods. Brings to mind how people who easily eat well all the time don’t feel like they’re denying themselves at all—it requires very little effort, actually, because we’ve kicked the addiction of all the added sugars and processed foods.
'Junk food' needs no defense, 'healthy food' needs no praise

Anyway, kudos.
