Why do we eat cookies, ice cream and chocolate?

http://quazen.com/recreation/food/cookies-ice-cream-chocolate/
Do we eat cookies, ice cream and chocolate because our parents ate cookies, ice cream and chocolate in front of us when we were kids? Or, do we eat cookies, chocolate and ice cream because there are always commercials of cookies, ice cream and chocolate on TV?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The ads are good to create the feeling of good about those. Then when we are at the store and see them, we feel like buying. When we reach home, we feel like to taste them. When we taste them the tastiness makes us eat more.

It's all about evolution. Humans (and many animals) evolved to seek out high-calorie, energy rich foods. Sugar and fat are great sources of calories.

Unfortunately, we live in a world full of cheap, high calorie food. Cookies, ice cream, chocolate, soda pop, etc. are full of the stuff our bodies crave. We eat this stuff to excess and it makes us fat. But excesses like this never existed when humans had to hunt and gather for food. That's why more than 50% of Americans are considered overweight.

We eat them because they taste great... our bodies love the fact that they are full sugar and fat.

It can't be just the adverts.. after all my parents eat Bran Flakes... Bran Flakes were advertised a lot on the TV when I was growing up, and I hate Bran Flakes....

well its simple...

we eat them because we love the taste and the feeling we get after having them. Not because of the ads, commercials etc.

Probably a combination of all of the above, plus the fact that sugary foods have a good taste to lots of people.

We eat them because we know them to be good. Someone somewhere along the lines discovered/made them, told someone else to try it, and so it began.

I'm sure someone offered someone the colon of a skunk to try once, but obviously that didn't catch on, because it wasn't as good.

But we don't know or try things without someone else having recommended it in some way shape or form. whether it was our parents or the TV, someone said it was good, and we believed them and found them to be right.

However, we were eating these things long before TV (mass advertising) was invented, and THAT should be some food for thought...

The world think we all like chocolate. Personally I cannot stand it and have not eaten it since childhood and never again!
