Really understanding that being "addicted to junk food" is not a joke, after all. It might be enough to help the author, and people like him, but as previously discussed, people with enough money for a home gym and personal chef aren't likely to be plowing through a pile of snack cakes like a shift worker, but they manage to eat too much of the wrong foods anyway. A giant portion of gourmet mac n cheese will still give us problems.

Grains are addictive, for instance. Even whole grains. That's not common knowledge. We aren't set up to eat nuts and seeds on a regular basis. We'd have to eat too much and this is bird food.

But we can't resist plants. That's what it seems like.
