Why You Can’t Stop Eating Bad Food — The Big Tobacco Connection

from Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags · host Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags

What if the food you’re eating was designed to keep you hooked? In this eye-opening interview, we break down how major food companies — many with direct ties to Big Tobacco — helped engineer products that are harder to stop eating, less healthy, and more profitable than ever. This isn’t just about junk food. It’s about how ingredients, flavors, and even textures have been carefully crafted to trigger cravings and keep you coming back for more. Why does it feel so hard to stop eating certain foods?Is it just willpower… or something much bigger? We dig into the connections between Big Tobacco, Big Food, and government oversight — and what it means for you and your family. If you’ve ever wondered why breaking bad eating habits feels nearly impossible, this conversation will change how you look at what’s on your plate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
