Convenience will trump logic nearly every time…
I’m not saying this is right. But then again, what exactly is right? We all know that we should eat better. Fruits, vegetables, non-white sugar type things… but we also know that the bad stuff tastes REALLY good. Not that the good stuff doesn’t taste good. Logic says the apple is better than the oreo. The oreo offers immediate satisfaction followed by a truckload of guilt. The apple offers minimal initial satisfaction, but is better for your body in the long term.
If there were oreo cookies made out of apples, this train of thought would never have to leave the station.
