Why do people choose to eat products that are unhealthy for them?
People choose to eat unhealthy food for two main reasons. One of them is taste, unhealthy food generally tastes good. The second reason is availability and price. Unhealthy food is almost always available at cheap prices and combined with the fact that it tastes good, many people choose to eat it.
What roles/responsibilities does the gov't have in framing your choice?
I belive that the government should be responsible for educating us on our choices in farming, what types of food to eat, etc. They should not control what food we can eat, but give us the knowledge to make those choices for ourselves. It should be our choice weather to eat genetically modified food, yet the government has to educate us about the advantages and disadvantages of eating the crop.

Do you think that people will eat healthy foods if they were told they tasted good? I think that it is a deep psychological connection that society associates with food.
