Question:

What is it that makes junk food addicting?

Is it simply the taste, or is it additives, or what not?

Answers:

Fat and sugars. The human body is programmed to like these because in the hunter/gatherer days they were great sources of energy. Now this instinct just causes us to get overweight because we aren't short of food in industrial societies.
