Somebody has said that to be successful at fishing you have got to know the habits of the fish. 

This is exactly what the food multinationals have done with consumers. 

 

The big food companies, with the help of chemists, psychologists, food technologists  and marketing specialists, know what people do not know and what most folks do not care to know because average consumers just want to eat not what is good for them to eat but what is tasty to them to eat.

The food industrialists know the human fish´s habits inside and out.

To catch human fish is simple: Give consumers what stimulates the brain´s opioid system of them. And voilá... You have them hooked.

So, consumers are hooked on food hooks (Video 1). And along the way, the multinationals (i.e., the shareholders) get richer at the expense of the consumers´ blood and sweat. And humans get sicker, hooked on opioid foods! Hooked on food hooks! Hooked on junk foods!

                   Video 1. Chocolate, cheese, meat and sugar: Physically addictive.

Remember, what is good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander. 

The goose has the noose to get you in his money mousse. And the ganders have a lot to lose. 

If you go about eating what you think is good for the gander, you might find the neck chopping block sooner than you expected. Cooked by a giant cancer.
