So, unconsciousness in nutrition begins and almost ends, with the purchasing process. As it turns out, tasting also is an unconscious process. Few people actually taste the foods they eat. Sugar and candy were hard to get and expensive. Therefore, we developed an addiction for these foods.
People are addicted to foods.
You are addicted strongly habituated to the foods you eat. It is very much like smoking. Before Native Americans contributed tobacco to Europeans, Europeans did not miss having a smoke. The foods to which we are commonly addicted are those foods our parents gave us with love and affection. In some cases, you also are addicted to those foods you felt it necessary to use to rebel against your parents.
